Well here is the deal, I've been having some trouble with my computer of late, it hard freezes after my computer has been on for about an hour or some, pretty randomly. I thought it might the harddrive I have linux on so I reinstalled arch to different drive, but on that drive linux was hard freezing after only about 2-3 hours. Well thats not good at all. I then reinstalled arch (.72 cd) back to the drive I had it on in the first place. Everything was working fine until I pacman -Syu and replaced mkinitramfs (or whatever it use to be) with mkinitcpio. I then restarted and the system would not boot. I used a livecd to mess with the sda hda stuff but to no avail, I tried everything that could possibly have worked on my system. So I ended up installing ubuntu 6.10 so that I could have a working computer without having to use a livecd. And that is where I stand today.
My question to all of you is this, if I were to use the new .8 install cd would I still run into this problem? Since the .8 media already has mkinitcpio it should setup things up correctly, yes? I really want arch back, I have come to just love arch and I can't believe I ever liked ubuntu, just not to my liking anymore. Another question I have is in concern of my seeming hardware issues. If its not linux or some other piece of software causing my hard freezes, then what could it be? Right now my best guess would be either a harddrive or my powersupply. Can anyone help me out with either of these two problems. Thanks and I hope to be back on arch here real soon. Jackson
