[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.

Automated install Arch x86_64 root-file system the "Raspberry" way..

Dear Archers,
I am currently deeply interested in installing Arch as dual boot on my
current x86_64 system.
And yes, there is plenty information regarding this subject in Arch wiki's.
However...
I would like to automate the installation the "Raspberry-Pi" -way.
Details on the "Installation tab" of:
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi.
As you can see, the installation steps are easy to automate, in my opinion.
That's why I wrote an automation script for this purpose..
The information further suggests that there is a root-filesystem for
Arch named: 'ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz.'
Unfortunately, I don't think this root system will function on x86_64 systems..
So I researched if there was a root filesystem for Arch x86_64 and found filenames like 'root-image.fs.sfs' 'core.db' 'core.img'.
But I'm unsure if these archives/images really contain a rootfilesystem similar to the ArchARm system.
Therefore my question:
Does anybody know if there is a similar root filesystem for x86_64 so I can reproduce the "rpi-way" installation for x86_64 systems?
Kind regards,
Kees Epema

You are definitely not going to be able to simply dd arch to your machine unless you create an image to do so. Even then, that image would become old and stale pretty quickly, possibly leading to problems getting the system up to date.
In my opinion, the raspberry pi way to simply dd'ing an image to an SD card is a disservice to the ArchlinuxARM users. Though seemingly the proper way to get a system running on a raspberry pi, it masks the install process and leaves the user without a clue as to what would have gone into creating the system.
Go read the beginners guide. Use a virtual machine to practice if you need. Shortcuts are not going to help you with Arch.

Grub error after install Arch x86_64

i install arch on my second laptop and everything works fine so im install on my main laptop but grub can boot
my main laptop have 2 HDD, first i have windows seven and other partions on second i have arch64
at install no errors are show but when i reboot grub menu show the arch options i choose and
Booting command-list
root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb1 ro
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
Press any key to continue...
the hd1,0 thing is correct is the second HDD, first partition
i only can boot by arch live cd choose boot existing OS edit to hd1,0 and show me the grub menu and all boot option work
so what the problem with that
is not the problem with windows because i dont put windows on grub if i wont boot windows i choose boot first HDD on bios
the previous distro in this machine was sidux and only works on install i just choose install grub on sdb on MBR
on arch i choose install grub on /dev/sdb i think this is the MBR correct?

this i find on archwiki, i have this on grub too, but the problem is the grub/bios wrong names but is 100% now.
on 1 HD is a peace of cake install arch on 2 HDD im install a few times because this error but is easy too, when i read on web arch is hard to install i think that will be a pain in the as* but not really is easy and fast even faster than sidux but on start up have more 100mb of ram than sidux but is not a problem because is faster lol
thanks

[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

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.

[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] 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

[SOLVED] install arch VM with pacstrap

Dear all,
I am installing a Arch VM on my Arch host. The host is up-to-date, well configured (at least I think) in a vanilla manner (no suspicious hacks).
# pacstrap -i -c -d /dahlia base base-devel
is installing all packages but gives me this error many times:
/usr/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
error: command failed to execute correctly
Googling this error returns lot of topics but I couldn't find a clear answer. I do not want to start with a semi-broken arch VM, so I want to solve this issue before going further.
Thank you

[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'

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.

This is what you have to know:

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...

[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
Last edited by deus_deceit (2013-02-10 02:13:12)

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.

[SOLVED] Install arch on a partition and still access files on other

Basicaly what i want to achieve is to have a dual boot system on my laptop where i can access the files in some sort of shared storage or just to be able to access my windows files when im booted up in arch is there a way to achieve this?
Last edited by icyfox101 (2013-05-25 13:00:19)

Yes you can, you could have a partition for each OS, and then you could have a third partition for your shared files (I think it would have to be ntfs for the shared partition)
Or you could just mount the windows partition from arch.

broadcom had no output
lsmod |grep tg3 had no output, so If I dont have tg3, how to get it?
Solved:
"modprobe tg3" //it helps me get eth0
than
"dhcpcd eth0" /to ask for an ip
problem solved, now I just need to find out why tg3 doesnt autoload or how to autoload it.

Arch x86_64 won't boot, but i686 will. Live USB and HDD.

To be more succinct, what could cause 64 bit arch not to boot when 32 bit arch boots fine on a non-UEFI system that supports 64 bit, when all other variables are constant?
My first response seeing this post would be to immediately assume the noob (me) posting this doesn't know the difference between a 32 and 64 bit system. However, "ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso" (latest 64 bit ubuntu iso) boots from live USB and installs without error. It also came preinstalled with Windows 7 (64 bit), so I'm relatively sure it supports x86_64.
I wrote "archlinux-2014.08.01-dual.iso" (MD5 verified) to my USB. Selecting i686 boots fine. Selecting x86_64 restarts my system, eventually sending me back to the arch live menu after it posts.
Upon recommendation by a WonderWoofy on reddit, I tried to install arch x86_64 by bootstrapping and chrooting from the 64 bit ubuntu live usb. I ended up with same problem, where attempting to load arch reboots my system immediately.
Right now, I'm assuming it's the same issue booting from the live usb (arch iso) and from the arch installation on my hard drive, since they seem identical to me. I haven't tried recreating the install for i686 to see if it works (mainly because it's late -- if it'll help I'll do it upon suggestion).
Here's the only text that shows once I attempt to boot into arch. This is from the hard drive and using syslinux (which is pointed at my root partition on sda -- I don't have a boot partition).
Loading ../vmlinuz-linux... ok
Loading ../initramfs-linux.img...ok
Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok
Which doesn't look like it's messing up anywhere...
And of course I'm a noob so go easy on me x)
UPDATE: I found this thread but I'm not seeing his error message, so I'm not sure what to do.

It's an Intel Core 2 Quad processor. Are there any more diagnostic commands that would be helpful? I didn't see anything else in util-linux that might help...

Failure to install Arch Linux via netinstall AIF; PGP key issues

Hello,
I'm am attempting a fresh install Arch Linux on a clean machine: Dell 1420, 4GB RAM. I am using the archlinux-2012.02.09_04-00-01-netinstall-dual.iso installer.
Installation progresses nicely through the package selection (I choose core, core-dev, xfce, and xorg packages only, to keep it simple for now). The packages download quickly, and then the installation fails during installation indicating that none of the PGP keys are known for any of the downloaded files. The process essentially aborts and I press 'Continue' returning me to the main menu. I have repeated this process several times.
What needs to be done to install Arch Linux?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks, I have been through the Beginners Guide. I just want to get Arch Linux to "start" with a very basic GUI. during one of my installation iterations I did install only 'core' files, but the same failure occurred. so I'm at a loss as to how to get even a basic installation to take hold. Thoughts on the pgp key issues?
Thanks.
Update: I've switched to using the default net installer (2011.08.19) and the installation succeeded!
