I can confirm that using the PXE installing system everything worked rigth. I'm now writting this mail from the laptop with Arch :)
[arch-general] Boot error with 2008.12
Hi all, Thanks to a Xmas present, now I'm the proud owner of a ThinkPad X200T. After been a time flirting with Ubuntu, I'm returning to Arch (in fact, I've never abandoned it, because my home server runs Arch). The X200T doesn't have an optical drive, so I tried the USB install method. First I tried the last official release, 2008.06, and it booted perfectly. Unfortunately, as you can see here [1], the kernel included (2.6.24) doesn't fully support the wireless neither the ethernet cards. Then, following the recommendation from [1], I tried the testing 2008.12 release. But it doesn't boot. It just shows the message: Boot error. I've checked the md5sum of the img file and the pen drive (dd if=/dev/sdb count=875219 status=noxfer |md5sum) and in both cases it's ok (so, no corrupt img file, and no corrupt pen drive). I've checked the forums and in this post [2] at least two people suffer the same issue, but there is no answer. Any idea about the possible origin of the issue and how to solve it?
