Oh my God, what moron forgot and left the 201603 install CD in the CD drive a couple of weeks ago and then tried to boot the 20161001 installer from USB. No wonder the installer was looking for ARCH_201603. The bizarre part was actually looking with 'ls -al /dev/disk/by-label' only showed ARCH_201610 and ARCHISO_EFI, lending to the confusion. Sorry for the noise. The USB install works fine, the CD/DVD install still fails with the issue discussed in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1608432#p1608432 Now to chastise the idiot that left 201603 CD in the drive :). If these servers didn't sound like a 747 at full-takeoff, I might have actually noticed the CD drive clicking :) Thanks again Mauro, LoneWolf, Dave and the rest. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Thanks Mauro, I'm picking though the iso right now. I'll let you know what turns up. The install works fine other than looking for disk/by-label/ARCH_201603. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I think there is something funny with the arch install iso. For some reason, I'm getting a failure waiting on the install to be mounted at /run/archiso/bootmnt The strange things is it says: Waiting 30 seconds Error: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201603' device did not show up after 30 seconds. WTF?? 201603, this is the 201610 install medial Sure enough # ls -al /dev/disk/by-label ARCHISO_EFI -> ../../sdb2 ARCH_201610 -> ../../sdb1 Why the hell is it trying to mount 'ARCH_201603' when 'ARCH_201610' is the actual label? I can manually mount /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201610 to /run/archiso/bootmnt but I don't know how to make the install continue from that point?? This was with the USB installer. Funny, the arch iso from both 20160903 and 20161001 both fail looking for the 'ARCH_201603' (this was a fresh USB drive too, no prior iso on it) "get a rope... somebody done screwed something up..." -- David C.

No, no reason other than convenience. This particular box is an older SuperMicro H8DME-2 board with a pair of quad-core Opterons. I'll make another run at it today and tomorrow. I'll first attempt a PXE boot from an existing Arch server attempting to serve the install .iso mounted loop via tftpd. My only quandary there is whether to symlink the lpxelinux.0 contained in the install to /srv/tftp/pxelinux.0, or whether the use the example style /srv/tftp/arch.menu discussed at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PXE#Existing_PXE_Server (my PXE setup is only for the install.iso, so I was intending to link /archiso/arch/boot/syslinux/lpxelinux.0 /srv/tftp/pxelinux.0, but am unsure if that will serve the install iso as intended) We'll see how that goes. Failing that, I'll write the iso to USB and try that way and report back. Thanks Mauro. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Have you tried with the latest install ISO? You also seem to have physical access to the hardware, any special reason why you have to use optical media instead of a usb flash drive? -- Mauro Santos

This seems like a bug that has plagued whoever it should go to for quite some time. I don't think this is a dao/tao issue. I get the same error with ARCH_201603 (which I've installed Arch from several times w/o issue) and ARCH 201609 and openSuSE 13.1. All cd's were md5/shasum verified (before and after burning), all burning was done from the command line per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Optical_disc_drive#Burning_an_ISO_image_to_CD.2C_DVD.2C_or_BD (the ARCH_201609 was to DVD since it finally exceeded the overburn of my discs). So the forum thread discusses in 43 posts at least a dozen theories as to why this continues to reoccur, but it doesn't seem that anybody actually has a handle as to the exact cause. Me, I've probably installed arch 30 times over the past 7 years and I've never seen this before. The post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1608432#p1608432 probably captures the current thinking/experimentation as it stands now. I'll try and experiment with a couple of additional ATA and SATA based cd/dvd drives and if I find anything new I'll add this to the forum thread. If anyone has any additional thoughts on this, I (and apparently many others) would appreciate your thoughts. I can't believe my search didn't turn up that formum thread, (StartPage is usually dead on). However, I was surprised at the litany of different times and situations this has apparently occurred over the past year or so. Glad to know there is still a little mystery left in computing :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
