Install arch possible on a Linx7 tablet

ordered a windows 8 (booo! hiss!) tablet with intel atom cpu
would it be possible to put arch on one of these?
Intel Atom Z3735
what other information would i need to know if it would install ?

So is it possible or not?
Can these boot from USB disk? They do have an USB OTG port.
Can these boot from SD card?
Is the main hard disk removable? (Breaking the cover first of course.)
I did not find any Linux-specific info which makes me think the hardware might be locked.
I'm thinking of buying a Linx7 I8270 tablet, but I do not want to waste the money...
It comes with Intel® Atom™ Processor Z3735G (4-core, 64-bit, Intel HD graphics)
Edit:
The hardware is very exciting for the price and most importantly no money goes to Microsoft since apparently the pre-installed Win8 comes for free (only on devices smaller than 9")

Possible to install arch on a system with Broadcom wireless?

My netbook has a broadcom BCM4313 chipset. Kernel module: brcmsmac. The latest arch installer can't properly configure my network and I don't have a wired connection at this location. The system keeps spamming messages like this on the terminal every few seconds:
ieee80211 phy1: wl_ops_bbs_info_changed: qos enabled: false (implement)
ieee80211 phy1: brcmsmac: wl_ops_bss_info_changed: disassociated
ieee80211 phy1: wl_ops_bbs_info_changed: arp filtering: enabled false, count 0 (implement)
Is it even possible to install arch linux on a system with a broadcom chipset? Or is the kernel too old, should I use another module?
Thanks for your help!

treadlefish could you post the wifi info from "lspci -vnn"? Then I can check if we have the same card.

Is it possible to install Arch on a usbstick ?

Hello there,
i would like to install arch on an usbstick like slax, puppy or dsl. Is it possible or does even exists a stick version of arch ?
Best regards

Did i understand you correct ?
aufs/unionfs is not a file system that you can use to format a physical medium such as a usb-stick. It is a sort of pseudo-file-system that makes a read only real filesystem appear to be writable, but the writing is done not to the original file-system, but to another one, which could be a disk, memory or whatever. To use such a file-system quite a few changes are necessary to the way a Linux system is booted.
You can find some more details at aufs.sourceforge.net and some description of how it is used in larch in the documentation on the larch web-site (see below).

Is it possible to install Arch with only WIFI available?

Hi, I want to install Archlinux on my thinkpad T60, but there is only WIFI at my room(with WPA), so is it possible to install Arch and set up to get a full GUI desktop environment? The problem is how to connect to internet via WIFI in command line only mode, is it too complicated? Is there a tutorial on this?
Thanks!

'The beginners guide and the install guide in the wiki cover this, i believe it also has a section for connecting to an encrypted access point. So to answer your question: yes its possible and no its not too complicated and yes there is a tutorial on this

How to install Arch from hard drive?

Hello
I have an old laptop - Pentium II 266 MHz, 128Mb RAM and I want to install Arch on it.
The problem is that there is no way to boot from this laptop -> floppy is broken, CD drive is not bootable, no available boot options from BIOS to boot from PXE or USB.
So, I found this link useful (but not enough).
I have done everything as described on the upper link, but on the final step 7 I don't know how to proceed.
What I have got is:
Arch installation CD is in the CD drive.
After loading vmlinuz26 and archiso.img (which is RAM Disk or initrd) it shows this message: "waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/"
And another message: "ERROR: boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds" and after that it put me in the ramfs prompt.
I try this in ramfs prompt, but without success:
1. ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/archiso
2. exit (and try again)
What I want is to tell the installer that it must proceed with the installation files on my CD drive.
But how to do that?
If it is not possible, then how could I install Arch on this old laptop? Is there any other methods to try?
PS: There is Windows 2000 and Windows 98 installed on this laptop, but I want to install Arch on it. The whole hard drive is one partition.
Last edited by clovenhoof (2011-08-09 06:49:48)

Try either of the following:
* Add archisolabel=LABEL to the kernel line in menu.lst, where LABEL is the filesystem label of the partition where the ISO resides.
* Add archisodevice=/dev/sdaX to the kernel line in menu.lst, where sdaX should be replaced with the partition where the ISO resides.
[Edit]
Hmmm, sorry I think I was wrong. With the above, you need also extract the ISO, put the arch/ directory at the root of the partition.
Alternatively, you can put the ISO to the root of that partition, and add img_dev=/dev/sdaX and img_loop=foo-bar.iso. For details, see:
https://projects.archlinux.org/archiso.git/tree/README
BUT even if it loads, I don't think you will be able to install Arch on the same partition since it's mounted readonly to /bootmnt, (unless, you explicitly add copytoram to the kernel line, in which case, everything is copied to RAM, but since the machine has got only 128MB of RAM, this is not gonna happen). So, you need to put the ISO (or the extracted squashfs images) to a different partition than your target installation partition...
There probably are other things I'm missing... Gotta say this sounds quite challenging.
[Edit2]
Bah! Try archisodevice=/dev/sr0 then!

How to install Arch for dual-boot with Win 7 (on 2 hard drives)?

Hello,
the TLDR first: how exactly should I proceed when setting up GRUB for 2 hard drives to dual-boot Arch (64 bit)and Win 7 (64 bit)?
Long version: So, I have the following hard drive & partition layout:
On my first hard drive (250 GB big) I have: Win 7 64 bit, all the programs for Windows and of course the EFI partition
My second hard drive is 1 TB big and formatted in NTFS and it only contains data. It has 2 partitions, one is about 750 GB big and used for simple storage.
Sidenote 1: sometimes my disk management (Windows' own gparted) shows either the little disk or the big one as disk 0. Don't know what exactly this means, but I have never ever experienced any problems whatsoever during use.
Sidenote 2: the UEFI motherboard (ASRock H67M) cannot boot into Legacy mode.
I want to install Arch on a ~200 GB partition on the second hard drive (the one with 1 TB). (click here if you want to see a screenshot) I am posting this because I am confused with how exactly I should deal with the whole "2 hdds & UEFI" thing.
So how exactly should I proceed when setting up GRUB for this setup?
For partitioning I suppose I would have to use fdisk or cgdisk. I used cgdisk before and found it to be straightforward. Then, because I have experienced my fair share of problems with rEFInd, I'd like to use GRUB.

First thing you should do is become familiar with your motherboard.
http://www.asrock.com/mb/manual.asp?Model=H67M
This will probably help you out in understanding the sidenote 1 thingie (hdd's on sata3 and/or sata2 connectors)
As on sidenote 2, according to the manual it seems to be possible to boot legacy mode, see Storage Configuration.

How to install arch 2009.08 from hard drive? Please enlighten me

OK, I admit I am impatient for the installation from the CD drive. Whenever possible and whatever distro I wanna try, I head first to try to install it from the hard drive. I don't remember how many times and how many distros I have done the same to, ubuntu, zenwalk, sidux, fedora, opensuse and of course arch. It rarely failed as long as I followed someone's guide, sth like "install any OS from hard drive", I do not exactly remember. And I did the same in the past with arch. But after 2009.08, it simply didn't work. I've read the article "fast install arch from existing linux system" in the wiki, it didn't work either (by the way, if someone can solve my problem, I think the article should be updated). After it boots, at some stage, it says "Use Hook [archiso]", then tell me "waiting for /dev/archiso for 30 seconds ..." then when the time due, it throws me into a ramfs shell. I've hacked for a long time, but no luck. Then I went back to download the 2009.02 iso, however, it works flawlessly.
I did find some differences in the menu.lst/isolinux.cfg between two version.
In 2009.02, we have
title Boot Arch Linux Live CD
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 lang=en locale=en_US.UTF-8 usbdelay=5 ramdisk_size=75%
initrd /boot/archiso_pata.img
While in 2009.08, it is
title Boot Arch Linux Live CD
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 lang=en locale=en_US.UTF-8 archisolabel=ARCHISO_AHCOHH6O ramdisk_size=75%
initrd /boot/archiso_pata.img
I know I can install arch from usb, but I simply wanna know what's wrong here, so guys, if you have any idea, don't hesitate to enlighten me.

Hi, vacant, thanks for the reply. I did not notice you are the author of the article. Actually I missed the head of the article which directs me to another (the amalgamated one you mentioned). I take a look at it, it seems to make things complicated. I still miss the old days: you simply download the iso, mount it and copy all the contents into a separate partition, edit your current grub, then reboot and everything works. I don't understand how Arch could be so evolved to exclude this simple installation scheme. I am not complaining the development of Arch. In my opinion, a distro as flexible as Arch should provide as much installation strategy as possible. In this respect, I think we can learn from Ubuntu or sidux (in sidux, it provides a very convenient kernel parameter called "fromiso" which allows you to install sidux from the plain iso, that means, you even don't have to mount it and copy the contents out of it to a separate partition).

Install arch on lvm on usb

I wonder if it is possible to install arch on lvm on a usb key. I tried to do so. And it seemed I had installed it successfully. I am quite sure I've done everything right following the "LVM" and "Installing Arch Linux on a USB key" wiki. But when I boot from the usb (it can boot), it still failed to find the root which lies in an logical volume. In the error message, it first told me:
the root device does not exit, attempting to create it;
but failed and unable to detect or create the root device
then thrown me into the ramfs recovery shell.
In this shell, I can not find the device (which is a logical volume containing the root) I specified in the grub menu.lst under /dev/mapper.
Any idea?

I also have this problem.
What seems to go wrong on my arch here is that the lvm2 hook is initialised and scans for volumes before the usb disk has been detected.
I did some googling, but to no avail. All I found was this bug report dating back from 2006.
Some suggested to add rootdelay=10 or more, but it waits after lvm scans for physical volumes, so that doesn't help. I also read that a newer version of udev might help. But, surely the setup would have installed the newest version?
Edit: it's indeed the newest udev version.
I also found the following which looks promising: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ho … evel/14400. I don't know how to include this in the ramfs though, time for more googling!
Edit2: I seem to have fixed my problem! I compiled the udev-wait-for-device.c file and wrote a new hook for initcpio called usb-wait that calls the udev-wait program to wait for my root device. Here's a tar ball of it: usb-wait.tgz. Extract to the root of the target system and modify deviceName in /lib/initcpio/hooks/usb-wait to the device it should wait for. That did the trick for me, I hope it does for others as well.
PS: I use a 64 bit Arch

Problems after installing Arch [SOLVED]

Hello,
I attempted to follow the installation instructions to install Arch Linux. I followed those since they are faster than the Beginners Guide and didn’t meet some of my needs.
For example, I was also wanting to install an LVM partition (and I'll backup and set up dm-crypt+LUKS later after I get this issue solved), which the Beginner Guide didn't mention and there were a few other minor tweaks I wanted.
In my partition layout I have a 400MB boot (extra room for other kernels). followed by an LVM volume, which has one volume group with 4 logical partitions, these are: /, /home, /tmp, and /var.
The problem:
GRUB is not working, or at least it's not installed and configured correctly. When I boot up my computer, it says exactly, "GRUB", in the top-left corner of my screen and nothing happens. I have a poor understanding of the init/bootloader process in computers, which I am trying to learn slowly but steadily. I was re-reading the instructions for GPT specific partitions, which is what I use, and it says here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual … stallation
That I'm supposed to have a "BIOS partition". This is interesting because I have no idea what this is for. Something came to mind when I was using cgdisk or gdisk, it would automatically allocate the first 2000-ish sectors (instead of 34 like the documentation was hinting), so this probably means something.... I don't know.
And then I read that the BIOS installation for GPT is supposed to be done before you install Arch Linux. Whoops! So can I fix this without having to reinstall Arch? I can probably mount all of my directories and chroot inside again after creating the BIOS partition so GRUB can be configured and reinstalled correctly. Maybe I can fix this. I don't know.
So I am trying to troubleshoot this problem, but is there anything I am understanding wrongly here? Is there some other reason why GRUB won't boot up? I tried Super GRUB 2 disk and that didn't work, there was just a blank screen when booting from grub.cfg. Any help or suggestions?
I am using x86_64 Arch Linux with the installed 3.6.4-1-ARCH Linux kernel.

Be aware that logical partitions are a construct of the Master Boot Record (MBR) partitioning system; however, the title of your thread, and some of the specifics, suggest that you're using the GUID Partition Table (GPT) system, which doesn't use logical partitions. If you're certain you used gdisk or cgdisk, and not fdisk or cfdisk, then you're using GPT and I'd simply accept your use of the word "logical" as an error. If there's any doubt in your mind about this, though, you should investigate further, since some of the issues and solutions depend greatly on which partitioning system you used.
That I'm supposed to have a "BIOS partition". This is interesting because I have no idea what this is for.
The BIOS Boot Partition holds a portion of the GRUB code. It's used on GPT disks but not on MBR disks -- on MBR, the equivalent code goes in an officially-unallocated area immediately after the MBR. The BIOS Boot Partition can sometimes be just a few kibibytes in size, but it's usually either 1MiB or 2MiB. (I've seen reports that some configurations now require over 1MiB, but I haven't investigated this claim.)
Something came to mind when I was using cgdisk or gdisk, it would automatically allocate the first 2000-ish sectors (instead of 34 like the documentation was hinting), so this probably means something.... I don't know.
No, these are unrelated issues. Most partitioning tools today, including gdisk and its siblings, align all partitions on 2048-sector (1MiB) boundaries so as to avoid performance penalties that can be incurred on Advanced Format disks, SSDs, and some types of RAID arrays. See this article I wrote on the topic some time ago.
That said, if you have nowhere else to put it, you could try creating a BIOS Boot Partition in that space. You'd need to change the alignment policy in gdisk or cgdisk to align on 1-sector boundaries to do so, although an 8-sector alignment would be safer for future changes if you've got an Advanced Format disk. The BIOS Boot Partition isn't really greatly affected by the alignment issues, so I wouldn't worry about leaving it unaligned. OTOH, if GRUB wants more then 1MiB on your system, this space would be too small, so it might be better to resize a partition to make room for the BIOS Boot Partition.
WonderWoofy wrote:From what I understand (I have not tried this though) grub2 is actually lvm aware. So you can put all partitions within the lvm, including boot. If this is the case, I see no reason why you would not also be able to put the 2MB bios boot partition in there as well.
GRUB 2 is LVM-aware, and it is possible to put your Linux /boot directory inside the LVM. If you want to do this, though, there's really no point to split /boot off into a separate logical volume (the LVM equivalent of a partition); you might as well just make it a normal directory off of the root (/) filesystem. I'm pretty sure it is not possible to put the BIOS Boot Partition inside the LVM. That's because the code to parse the LVM data structures is contained within the BIOS Boot Partition, thus creating a chicken-and-egg situation if you were to attempt it. Furthermore, the code to write to the BIOS Boot Partition looks for the partition type code in the disk's partition table, and there's no equivalent to that in the LVM data structures. (All this said, in principle you might be able to get something like this to work, but the result would be something similar, but not identical, to a BIOS Boot Partition.)
Although GRUB 2 can read a kernel from within an LVM, I still prefer to keep a separate /boot partition. The reason is that you might not always use GRUB 2. If you wanted or needed to switch to another boot loader in the future, it might not be LVM-aware, and might need /boot to be on a true partition, not in an LVM. (This is true of every EFI boot loader except for GRUB 2, for instance.) In fact, I routinely create two or three smallish partitions on my computers so that I can create multiple /boot partitions for multi-boot configurations or to help transition to a new installation should the need arise. This can help simplify things when the time comes to start fresh.

Can I install arche in "safe" way from other worki

Can I install arche in "safe" way from other working distro?
Like Debootstrap for example.
I don't like regular install that I don't have control of the installation procees and It work as root alone so It's need very careful in the partition level.
It is possible?

Is there any suggestion? I will try it until I get a U storage to write .img in.
Last edited by sailor (2009-03-17 00:47:31)

Sure, it's perfectly possible to use any linux system without swap. including arch.
There are 2 ways to do disk partitioning in /arch/setup:
1) autoprepare. with this method, you pick a disk (a disk you want to use entirely). you will be asked some questions (including how big swap should be). this method will create the partitions with the sizes you mention (/boot, swap, / and /home) optionally you can add additional fs'es
2) manual. the installer can launch cfdisk for you if you need to alter partitions (if you want this), and after that you can define pretty much your stuff the way you like it (eg no swap) iirc. i'm not 100% sure though.
Frankly I don't understand why you say "I have no choice", if you don't have enough partitions, you can always create additional ones.

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.

Setting up encryption on an already installed Arch setup?

Recently I have been thinking about setting up encryption on my already installed Arch setup. I would reinstall and encrypt it that way, however I do not have an external HDD big enough to back up everything, so I was wondering if it is possible to encrypt a hard disk on an already installed Arch setup. I have two partitions, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, and would like to encrypt both while not having to reinstall.
Can anyone help? Thanks!
Edit:
Alternatively, could I reinstall it and use encryption in the install in such a way that it retains my file contents?

I use rsync rather than tar to do what Stebalien is suggesting here. I use btrfs, and my root filesystem is actually a subvolume. So I mount the entire btrfs filesystem (from subvolid=0) at /var/lib/btrfs-root. By doing this, it makes it much easier to simply rsync (or tar) from that mountpoint to the backup mountpoint. This makes it so that I can actually backup the system I am running off of without explicitly excluding all the volatile directories (like /sys, /tmp, /proc, etc.) Though I think a more sane approach, since I use btrfs, would be to snapshot each subvol and rsync those instead.
I guess what I am trying to get at, is that if you were to create something like /mnt/system and /mnt/backup. If you mounted your rootfs to /mnt/system (and then possibly your home partition to /mnt/system/home), then mount the backup destination to /mnt/backup, you could simply do something like:
# rsync -aAXv /mnt/system/* /mnt/backup
Then of course you would have to put it all back after you set up Luks/dmcrypt.
This installation I use has been through a few different drives and trying and removing Luks/dmcrypt. I have also changed filesystems, switched to LVM2, tried mdadm RAID0, mdadm RAID1, and eventually went back to btrfs. So as mentioned above, there is really no need to reinstall just to change the underlying layout of the HDD/SSD. Of course this assumes that you have a spare drive with the space to copy your entire filesystem to... but then you should have backups anyway, right?

Installing Arch without a CD Drive Or Bootable USB

Hello I have a "legacy" PC that I would like to install Arch on. I would like to know if it is possible to "Mount" the .iso over my home network that is assigned through static IPs and an ethernet switch.
Then after this would I then be able to share my connection that an XP box on my network is receiving through a Wireless NIC? I looked into network bridging but I have hit a lot of dead ends and sort of gave up on it.
The first question is not all that vital I could just put a CD Drive in it but I want to do it out of curiosity and a little project. The second is sort of Vital as I could then send intranet to my other PC's and install Arch. Thanks for all your help and my previous experience with Arch has been nothing short of amazing.

I used PXE to load arch onto an old toshiba portege, worked a charm and it's not as long winded or difficult as it looks
Good Luck.

Installing arch on extended partition/logical drive

hi there. i am a newbie to linux and about to install arch as my first linux installation.
i am using vaio AR laptop already running xp and would like to keep it and have double boot without reinstalling xp.
have 200gb hdd with recovery primary partition, system primary partition (where xp installed) and extended partition with one logical drive (D: ) of 100gb.
i was considering deleting the logical drive (and the extended partition if necessary), which if i understand correctly should give me 100gb of unallocated space.
i would then like to install arch on the 100gb of unallocated space.
i would like to know if the way i am planning to go about it is possible, and whether i can install arch completely on one extended partition devided into logical drives.
any comments or sugestions would be much appreciated...
Last edited by o12357 (2009-09-04 12:45:18)

I believe that is correct. Grub has to have a reference to the md0 raid for booting.
Please see
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=79306
This solution to the boot problem with md0 should be helpful for your case since grub must be modified to accomodate the raid.
I am not sure the data in your raid0 is appropo for your use in booting archlinux, however. If I understand correctly, it is windows related data and not applicable to linux.
If your raid0 is partitioned, it would be possible to establish a boot for each system using grub partition references differing for linux and windows systems.
Thus, you would have grub entries complete for linux and another set complete for windows.
I think AFAICT windows has to be first in the usual dual booting but am not an expert on that, not having used dual boot. It may be somewhat different when using raid for booting dual systems.
I suggest you read the wiki on dual boots.
Perhaps you will get advice from others on the subject also.
EDIT: Your asumption that all OS'es will recognize the raid0 devices as a single drive does not apply to archlinux which does not autodetect raid arrays but must have initramfs populated with the raid data established by mdadm and initiated into initramfs by mkinitcpio. Then during boot sequences , the array is assembled and enabled as a single drive,i.e., md0. The boot sequence assembles all drives having identical UUID's in the raid array.
