With arch, things get a little unwieldy when we add the forum as "layer 3" without a clear delineation of what information goes to the list and what goes to the forum. There may be some guideline for that somewhere, but I haven't run across it yet. (One can only read so many hundred wiki, forum, bug, and list posts in a given amount of time) I have always understood IRC is simply for quick questions/answers so that doesn't cause a problem as another "layer 4." I still believe the best practice for bug reports is the (1) (2) laid out above. It helps both weed out bugs that aren't really bugs to begin with, and it also helps better frame the bug issues for the ones that are bugs but that the reporter doesn't know enough about to feel comfortable reporting to begin with. I don't know how the forum fits in here, but I do agree that the efficiency of the bug tracking/fixing process suffers if the devs have to try and pick information out of 3 different places potentially under 3 different titles/subjects. As for spamming, this stuff is never spamming. These are the discussions that need to be held to provide the decision makers additional information and viewpoints to consider in defining the policies to put in place. Even if all my/your suggestions are ultimately tossed, they still had value in providing an option or alternative to be considered. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] AARG! kinit: cannot open dev(8,7) kernel panic
Listmates, I am in a fist-fight with grub again most likely due to /dev/disk/by-uuid and I'm losing the battle. First, the situation. I'm moving and resizing partitions from an 80G drive to a 500G drive. No issues there. The partitions setup is: /dev/sda1 WinXP /dev/sda2 Extended /dev/sda5 /home /dev/sda6 / /dev/sda7 swap /dev/sda8 /boot After moving and resizing the partitions windows boot fine and Arch boots until it gets to kinit and then throws a kernel panic. I have updated the disk/by-uuid labels in /boot/grub/menu.lst and in /etc/fstab, but still the kinit error. As far as my grub install goes, the system boot to the grub menu and it is reading /boot/grub/menu.lst because I can boot XP from the grub menu, but not boot Arch. Gurus... What to check? Throw a brother a bone Where else is the disk by-uuid stuff hidden? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
