Description: Installation of arch linux using install medium
2012.09.07 under Microsoft VirtualPC 2007 fails because the
virtual hard disk is not accessible from the system booted
from the Arch Linux live medium.
Additional info: * the hard disk is recognised correctly by the Hardware Information (HDT) function from the boot menu. Steps to reproduce: 1. create a new virtual machine with a new hard disk in Microsoft VirtualPC 2007 2. boot the VM using archlinux-2012.09.07-dual.iso 3. choose the 'Boot Arch Linux (i686) option from the boot menu 4. wait to be logged on as root 5. search in vain for sd* in /dev, or any non-cd device under /dev/disk/ |
