Re: Help broken arch linux Reply #1 – 02 October 2017, 08:31:59 Doesn't really matter, but if you're on Artix, you might as well use the artix-iso. You'll have to use "artools-chroot", etc. Last Edit: 06 October 2017, 07:05:28 by physkets
Re: Help broken arch linux Reply #2 – 03 October 2017, 22:03:05 Thanks i tried to use unetbootin using a usb drive but it doent boot, i have the same problem that in this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=132766i read the wiki and in the wiki it say thisUsing UNetbootinUNetbootin can be used on any Linux distribution or Windows to copy your iso to a USB device. However, Unetbootin overwrites syslinux.cfg, so it creates a USB device that does not boot properly. For this reason, Unetbootin is not recommended -- please use dd or one of the other methods discussed in this topic.Warning: UNetbootin writes over the default syslinux.cfg; this must be restored before the USB device will boot properly.Edit syslinux.cfg:sysconfig.cfgdefault menu.c32prompt 0menu title Archlinux Installertimeout 100label unetbootindefaultmenu label Archlinux_x86_64kernel /arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuzappend initrd=/arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img archisodevice=/dev/sdx1 ../../In /dev/sdx1 you must replace x with the first free letter after the last letter in use on the system where you are installing Arch Linux (e.g. if you have two hard drives, use c.).
