im missing /boot/kernel26

Hello,
i installed Arch 05/10 from usb cd rom onto netbook Acer Aspire One. i used source from net. After i was said the instalation had been succesfull i rebooted and it couldn't find kernel so i was stuck at grub boot loader (neither arch nor fallback was working)

so i deleted everything and do the installation again:) now the installation was succesful, and im in terminal, there was no vmlinuz26 link in / . so i created it, its not problem when the /boot/vmlinuz26 exists.

But in /boot/grub/menu.lst I see

initrd /kernel26.img

there is no kernel26.img in / ... what can i do with this please? how do i create it? i rebooted and grub wont boot grub error 22 or something...

If it says

initrd /kernel26.img

it means you have a separate /boot partition and you should look there, not in the /.

Have you tried the new installation image with the linux 3 kernel?

"grub error 22" means you've messed something up with the partitions, in other way, grub looks in the wrong place

The 2010.05 .iso contains an obsolete kernel26.33 version.

To best install ArchLinux today use the latest .iso which installs Linux-3.0.

Much ado is necessary when using the older .iso whether cd or otherwise.

The latest is 2011.08 and come in torrent or FTP/http from many mirrors.

You may also use FTP install if that option is included in the new .iso's.

All future kernel upgrades will be Linux kernels.

Good luck.........

Arch Linux
