[Solved] Installed Arch, I have a kernel problem.

Hi guys, I'm new here, but I use only linux since 2003. I have a problem at boot... When I choose arch from the bootloader I get this:
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/sda6'
ERROR: root fs cannot be detected. Try using the rootfstype= kernel parameter
Or something very very similar. I see that I'm not the only one experiencing this problem so I try solving by myself following hints I've found on this forum... but nothing changed.
I need help
This is what you have to know:
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata keymap filesystems"
I also tried with ide...

That's very curious. I'm just having this problem after installing the lowlatency kernel from this repo:
Server = http://arch.madfire.net/proaudio/i686
So I've just changed the initrd /boot/kernel26.img to /boot/kernel26rt.img and I'm getting exactly the same error. I've also tried changing sda with hda in the grub's menu.lst but nothing changed...

Installed Arch KDEmod, have 2 questions

I just installed arch and have a few questions. When I installed openbox and tried to login in as kde/openbox, it just takes me back to the login screen. I can login as KDE or Openbox, but not as KDE/Openbox.
Also, Im trying to get conky to run on KDE and it will not work for some odd reason I've searched and followed the wikis for both of these issues, but I cant get either of these two things to work. Any help?

With a little more searching, I solved teh conky issue. Still stuck with trying to login in as KDE/Openbox. I keep getting a "Fatal Server Error: Server Is Already Active For Display 0" when I try to run it from the Konsole

[Solved] Install Arch 64 on new hardware (Intel I7-860, P55, Nvidia 46

Hi,
I just installed new hardware in my computer and wanted to install Arch Linux 64Bit on it. I got through the installation as usual, no special configuration done here. Then I tryed to boot my computer into ArchLinux which fails as after GRUB I only see a black screen.
I tried many different screen resolutions so that's not the problem. I waited for at least 5min but the screen stays black.
This is my hardware setup:
- Asus P7P55D Pro (Intel P55 Extreme Chipset)
- Intel i7-860
- MSI N460 GTX Hawk
- 8GB DDR3 Ram
I honestly have no idea what could cause the problem. Something special regarding kernel version, os configuration that i missed? I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
aXyde

After I saw this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=111805 which described a similiar problem to mine I added "nomodeset" to the kernel command line and all is working fine.

[SOLVED] Guest Arch in Virtual Box Internet Problems

I have installed Arch a few times already in virtual machines on Virtual Box and each time it is unable to configure the internet connection properly. Having gone through the beginner wiki-pages on starting with Arch, I have tried "ping -c 3 www.google.com" and get "ping: unknown host www.google.com". However, IP addresses usually work with 0% packet loss.
I then followed the "hwdetect" instruction and that yielded "-bash: hwdetect: command not found". The command "modprobe pcnet32" does not yield an error and returns nothing.
I have also tried other methods

Hi,
Pretty much the same here
That is strange but adding "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to /etc/resolv.conf enables me to access the internet. 192.168.0.1 is of course the IP of the host computer's vitual card but what is strange is: I need to use dhcpcd from guest to be given an IP that isn't even in the same range as 192.168.0.1 (for instance 10.0.2.15)!!
So to basically, host PC has that virtual ethernet card with static IP 192.168.0.1 and internet connection shared (don't know if this is compulsory though) and guest uses dhcp, is given 10.0.2.15 (don't ask me where it gets it from because I disabled it on VirtualBox). Then I just have to add "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to resolv.conf and I'm good... till dhcpcd rewrites the resolv.conf. How could we set dhcp to use a particular DNS?
As you can see, I am not a DNS expert. Using static IPs for both would be great but it doesn't work
Does it help?
The 10.x.x.x.x address range is assigned because you are most probably using NAT networking on the Virtual Box configuration.
Try with 'Bridged'.
If all goes well you shouldn't need to fiddle with /etc/resolv.conf.
Still, if you still need to change /etc/resolv.conf, put your changes in a file called /etc/resolv.conf.head which will survive
the changes that sometimes DHCP does on /etc/resolv.conf.

I know nothing about xfce, but can you tell me what part of the console stuff is in English? Can you copy / paste an example?
$HOME config don't work either.
From grub to login and from using CLI apps like nano and wifi-menu,mc,no polish language there.
Everything is in english...
Like system sudenly goes blind and don't see what i put in to configs.
Everything worked well on my old pretty instalation i already miss that times.
EDIT:
Sudenly it worked again.
Dunno what happened,just working again...
Ok,so thx for tips guys,have a good evening...
see my previous post.

[Solved] Installing arch on a notebook /w a 2.6.33+ chipset

Hi,
quick question:
I'd like to install arch on a notebook with a chipset that is not supported until 2.6.33.
The installation images however look rather old, so I'm afraid i won't even get to the installation step where I can chose which kernel to install.
What's the best way to do this?
*fixed typo
Last edited by Zoranthus (2010-04-22 13:41:01)

If you're referring to the Arrandale Chipset then you probably won't have any trouble with the official installation image. I used it to install a Clarkdale system without any trouble at all. The system even ran fine with 2.6.32 kernel.
You should use ethernet to connect to the internet during the installation though since your laptop probably has a very new wifi card too. If you choose netinstall you'll get 2.6.33.2-1 or later and you'll be good to go.

demian

[SOLVED] Install Arch Linux on USB Stick!

So, here is the deal. I want to install Arch Linux on a USB Stick so I can plug it at any computer and have my system... with me
I've had a little bit experience with Arch so I know a few things about it... used it for a few months before on a real system.
My USB stick is a HighSpeed 17-20 MBPS and it's 16 GB capacity.
So how do I do it?
Last edited by 1lj4z1 (2012-04-05 07:25:53)

I'm using occasionally Arch installed on HDD-USB, I've just added usb hook to mkinitcpio.conf and removed autodetect (more modules=more hardware supported). So far it worked on 3 different computers (all of them have one main HDD so no grub issues, but it's no biggie if it doesn't boot right away, you can always edit grub on-the-fly by pressing "e")
About USB stick: installing on USB stick is not the same as running it in LIVE mode! Consider yourself warned.
If you just install it you really should read about SSD optimizations because USB flash cells also have limited read/write cycles (actually is less robust and sophisticated than SSD). Something to look at: noatime mount option, disable swap if not necessary, profile-sync-daemon and so on...
1lj4z1 wrote:Well I don't need to chroot, i am running it live. I'll see about mkinitcpio.conf but I can't understand what you mean rebuilding initramfs? What is that exactcly?
It means if you fiddle with mkinitcpio you should run:
# mkinitcpio -p linux
afterwards or bad things will happen

You're not telling us how you created that bootable flash drive. You're also not using a reasonable title for your thread. Please revise the title to give an indication on what the problem actually is.

[SOLVED] System upgrade broke pm-resume (kernel problem?)

It now seems every other time I suspend to RAM, it fails to come back. I just get a blank screen, no backlight, with a completely unresponsive keyboard. At this point, the only thing I do that has any effect is a hard shutdown by holding down the power button. I had no problems before I upgraded on April 10. I didn't post this immediately because I wanted to see if the new xorg-server and associated updates would fix it, but it didn't.
Here is pm-suspend.log:

Hi there. Me here with the same problem. Well I think it to be so...
I can not suspend/resume for the second time - when I resume the backlight turns on, but the suspend LED is not turned off, HDD works, CPU, fans work. My computer is Thinkpad T43p. And older kernel does solve the problems.
I am considering one more issue about this problem is that the drivers may conflict with the newest kernel (for example my opensource ati drivers). Any suggestions?
By the way, if someone needs older packages, you can use 'Arch Rollback Machine' (ARM - http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=53665)

[SOLVED] Installing arch linux using dd from anrdoid phone's sd card

Hello everybody, I'm totally new and totally excited about arch linux.
I'm trying to create a bootable android phone for some hours now with no success.
The reason I'm trying to do that, is because all my usb sticks are all over the place at friends houses.
Since I'm not the patient type, I decided to do it with my Android Phone's SD card cause I noticed that I have the option to boot from it during startup.
Now, what seems to be the problem is this:
I did "dd bs=4M if=/path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdc" which seemed to do the job. When I rebooted tho, I didn't see my phone as a booting option.
That was obviously due to unrecognized file system format. How can I dd and keep the filesystem type? I believe that it's ntfs or FAT.
I also tried to install without overwriting the stick, which was a failure, it said it wouldn't find the .cfg files when i ran the commands in the wiki.
Can somebody help me with this?
Thanks in advance

Yes, my phone's card works without adding software as soon as I plug it in, the problem appears to be this: when i do "dd" on the SD card the filesystem type changes which causes my phone thinking that the SD card is empty since it doesn't recognize that format and not showing as a bootable device. As soon as I format it with my phone and reboot, it's there. So what I want to do is, create a bootable SD card that keeps the filesystem format that my phone recognizes. Is that possible?

I understand that. but both UUIDs and devices (/dev/sdX) are there in fstab if I am correct. I will check that in evening. if so did i make a mistake in generating fstab.
I have generated fstab with
genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab (does this happens if i forget -p).
as I have done this multiple times, I might have done some thing wrong. I will edit that file manually and removed /dev/sdx entries from that
Honestly, you are not very good at sharing what is actually in your configs. So as Trilby said above, no one really knows what is in your fstab, since you have not actually shared that with this thread.
As far as I can tell, when I run "genfstab -p /" on my running machine, letting the output just be dumped to stdout, it doesn't give me UUIDs anywhere. And from your statement it seems you haven't even actually checked.
What I have done in the past is used labels. For example if you are using ext2, ext3, or ext4, you could assign a label using "e2label". So lets say you label your rootfs (/) "usb_root". Now instead of using the unreliable /dev/sdXY format, you can use LABEL=usb_root in your fstab, and in the bootloader you can use root=LABEL=usb_root (or root=/dev/disk/by-label/usb_root).
I would also like to mention that this quote sucks:
Archhotep wrote:No. UUIDs are there in the boot loader (I think) and grub was working fine and why the system is trying to boot at first place.
There are a number of people who are patiently trying to walk you through this issue (with quite a bit more hand holding that usually takes place around here), and you don't have the decency/appreciation to even take the time to confirm what you are actually using in the configs that everyone is telling you to check and/or change.
Sir,
I was a standard linux (i mean ubuntu etc) user until sometime back. I don't know exactly what should be there in /etc/fstab. I also do not know what information you might need to help me. If any one asked me the details about /etc/fstab etc might have provided. I have given what info what I felt was appropriate and enough. I do not have that machine with me when I was posting lat post, otherwise I might have posted. that laptop is at home. I already said thanks in my third post immediately after I solve the problem.
Sorry if I am wrong, and thatnk you once again for letting me about labels.
If I still have a question about /etc/fstab, i will post my fstab.
I don't know where to look to know that my boot loader is using uuid or dev. It would be great help.

problem solved, now I just need to find out why tg3 doesnt autoload or how to autoload it.

ITunes 10.5 64bit Windows 7 doesn't install - anyone else have the same problem

I have downloaded the update. It says that it does not update and to do it manually. I am installing each installer at a time. It does not seem to like AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 and just gives me that an error has occurred. It does this after a long wait at the end. Anyone with the same problem?

Looks like there may be a solution on Itunes 10.5 64bit will not install on Win7. I am going to try that.

[SOLVED] Installing Arch x86_64 to HP Chromebook 14 Model 14-q013 4GB

Hello All,
I've had success installing a basic Arch system to my HP Chromebook 14 Model 14-q013sa 4GB, but only if selecting x686 instead of x86_64
The result is, (it's very early days, so please excuse any mistakes) Gnome reporting only 2GB RAM
free -m lists 2010 Total also.
I have tried pressing TAB on the x86_64 install and adding mem=4G or mem=4GB but it simply re-boots.
Any ideas at all for installing the 64bit version of Arch please?
Many thanks everyone.

It seems that chromebook has an Intel® Celeron® 2955U processor (http://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Produ … U&sel=PCNB)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeron_2 … C_22_nm.29
Looks like it should be a 64-bit processor.

[Solved] Installed Arch, I have a kernel problem.
