Re: [arch-general] KMS console problem with non-us (french) keyboard

I don't know why accentuated chars don't work with KMS for you, but I have a similar setup at my laptop (which is 2km away now), so I will check if plain-text console is not broken with KMS for me too. The only wild guess is that KMS-enabled consoles don't handle \e%%G and/or \e(K commands to switch console mode and font, but that's clearly a regression then and should be reported on bugzilla.kernel.org -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
[arch-general] ArcLlinux 2009.02 installation issues
Hello all! During my installation trials for ArchLinux 2009.02, I've stumbled upon some issues that I describe below. First one (the most minor and insignificant one), is that when you login as root in the installation system, it says as MOTD that you should read the documentation found in /arch/some-file-name, when in fact the file is in /arch/docs/some-file-name. Anyway. The second problem is a little bit more tricky... I want to install ArchLinux under a domU Xen virtual machine. So the only method (without using HVM) is to boot from the USB disk image, and try to perform the installation over serial the console. The problem is that by default ArchLinux does not include ttyS0 in inittab or in securetty, so I have to manually mount the disk as loopback, end edit the files appropriately... Thus my feature request is: could you include in the default install images also the ttyS0 and ttyS1 as usable terminals? Thanks, Ciprian.

Re: [arch-general] Change letters of partitions
Too late! hahahaha Im using /home on sda2 and / on sda3, and now im running Arch 64! Very good tip with fdisk. Anyway, thank you all. --- Lucas Saliés Brum http://sistematico.org lsbrum @ irc.freenode.org 2009/9/15 Axel Müller axel-mueller...@web.de fdisk has a function to automatically fix the partition order depending on the order they are placed on disk: Hit 'x' for expert mode and than 'f' to fix the order. Verify if it did what you want before writing the changes to disk.

Hm, I think archboot-based install CD had this feature (at least old bug about it is marked as fixed), not sure about it now, but archboot ISOs are regularly updated. Of course it would be nice to have the support in official ISOs, so please feel a feature requset about it on our bugtracker. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

But when I've posted on the mailing list I've looked on www.archlinux.org/download for the current version, and on this page all the downloads are 2009.02. (I've downloaded the files a few days ago, and on my computer they are with the name 2009.08.) Any problems with the site? I also want to mention that my proposed solution (mounting the disk as loopback, and editing inittab) does not work, because the disk contains a squashfs image of the root, so it's practically impossible to do this... So I've found a workaround: edit the file hooks/archiso from the initrd to append the lines to the files in real_root, just after the squashfs images are mounted, and just before giving the control to init. (Unfortunately it took me half a day to figure out this hack...) Ciprian.
