Has anyone been able to get Arch to boot from Sardu? I tried using the extra option, but when it boots it can't find boot media. Thanks.

to get help is it important to know more details. (archvers. etc.)
Please post what you have done in extra option.
A little tutorial you can find http://www.sarducd.it/extra.html

Sorry, I didn't think that post through as well as I should have. I was just hoping someone else had already had it working. I used the Extra -> Add Extra ISO (GRUB) option in 2.0.4 beta 7, and selected archlinux-2011.08.19-core-dual.iso. It booted the kernel, but then couldn't find the root filesystem. Thanks.

Hi,

I know this has been passed for a while already, but I'd like to share my results with you as I've managed to include Arch Linux Live CD into SARDU into the extra folder.

Step 1: extract the ISO into a folder in "SARDU_2.0.4.3\ISO\Extra". I renamed mine "ARCH_201203".
Step 2: enable extra from "File->enabled extra". You'll have the following files: extra.cfg, grldr, grub.exe menu.lst
Step 3: edit extra.cfg by adding the following lines:

Code: Select all

#-> EDIT HERE <-
Label ARCH_201203
Menu Label ^ARCH_201203
MENU INDENT 1
linux /extra/ARCH_201203/arch/boot/i686/vmlinuz
initrd /extra/ARCH_201203/arch/boot/i686/archiso.img
append archisobasedir=/extra/ARCH_201203/arch archisolabel=SARDU
#-> EDIT HERE <-

This informs which kernel to use, the image to decompress, the ArchIso Base directory, and most importantly, the device label (it's "SARDU" in the end)

Step 4: Save the file, and burn to USB.

For the record, using the menu driven Extra ISO features worked out of the box with Archboot.
