I don't see anything wrong with the configs you provided ;P

BTW, I think you mean it hangs on loading, please edit the title.

Classic thread

Same goes for the logs but I'm simply overwhelmed by the multitude of info re graphics card and driver.

1archgamenon2 · 2011-09-08 12:11:00

when starts 'udev' hangs! my card is Intel and i think with intel's driver i'd like to use vesa instead if it is possible...

When you're logged on your Ubuntu, can you chroot into your Arch install? If you could provide some logs this way, someone could have a look and hopefully understand the problem. For the moment, your problem is quite vague.

So? LiveCD is an option if you prefer that.

fredo1664 · 2011-09-08 12:32:49

Does that mean you removed the HD with Arch from your box and replaced it with another HD with Ubuntu? If so, can't you have both HDs in the box? You could use chroot this way no?

Edit: Or live CD as Karol suggested, probably the easiest way

Selective DVD reader? Your DVD drive has nothing to do with what HD is in there. Ubuntu should have the ability to read dvds out of the box.

fredo1664 · 2011-09-08 12:47:14

Is your DVD drive first in the boot sequence in the BIOS?

1archgamenon2 · 2011-09-08 14:09:25

yep! btw the drive where is Buntu is ide(works fine fine) and the hd with arch is Sata(problematic) running on HP dc7100sff...what else do u need to know?

edit:let me do a try with slitaz usb if i can mount arch...

I'm not an expert at all in the booting process (still a beginner...), but I guess you'll get more answers if you can provide some logs, for instance:

/var/log/dmesg.log
/var/log/boot

That's why I asked you if you could chroot to your Arch install.

toad · 2011-09-08 17:58:47

Still completely in the dark re your setup - give us an fdisk -l please.

1archgamenon2 · 2011-09-09 12:03:46

i'm going to reinstall! thinking if with EXT4 and grub to avoid inconvenients...

Arch Linux
