[arch-general] grub lost after boot into windows - seen before
Guys, I have a simple arch install on an older dell box with a single non-raid drive that still boots with grub. The box is used as part of a media center. Partitioning is simple, sda1 win, sda5 /home, sda6 /, sda7 swap sda8 /boot. The box rarely is booted into XP. The hwclock is manually set via the bios interface when switching between Arch or XP, UTC/localtime. A couple of nights ago, I booted XP and left it running. Clamwin runs a nightly scan via its scheduler. The only thing that ran under XP that I know of was clamwin, which after using it for years and never seeing this problem before seems to eliminate it as a suspect. (there were no updates applied, etc...) The box was left running XP for a couple of days. Upon reboot, the box would repeatedly reboot to the bios screen. Booting the Arch install disk, chrooting, and reinstalling grub fixed the problem. What could have caused grub to be wiped out? Has anyone experienced a grub overwrite with XP lately that they have identified a reason for? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I would say it should stay optional. -t pgpCBUdzMayeM.pgp Description: PGP signature

Can I suggest to add tmux on an upcoming release!? Tmux is far from crucial and the ISO has already bloated in size above what I'd like to see it at. Ignoring tmux also sidesteps the evitable holy war of why not screen?

Is there a way to boot the install medium over PXE similar to ArchBoot? Yes, it's on the wiki somewhere. If you have a fast internet connection (10MBit/s or more), you can use this: https://releng.archlinux.org/pxeboot/ As far as I understand that is an image that then downloads the install media from some server on the internet. We already have a PXE (dhcp/tftp) server in our hackerspace and a locale Arch mirror with the packages. I just need to add the install media so that we can install Arch even if offline (which happens). -- damjan

You can configure XP to use UTC time too (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Time#UTC_in_Windows) Upon reboot, the box would repeatedly reboot to the bios screen. Booting the Arch install disk, chrooting, and reinstalling grub fixed the problem. Where is grub installed? In the MBR or a partition? What's your XP boot emnu entry? -- damjan
