DetailsI have a 2005 Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO A1667G that cannot boot from USB (no such option in the latest BIOS version) and the CD/DVD drive cannot be used for various reasons. As such, I have created a small partition on which I have copied the ARCH_201311 image which I have marked as bootable with EasyBCD (the image, not the partition). This trick booted the Arch image, but the installation process stopped with the following error:
::Mounting '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201311' to '/run/archiso/bootmnt' Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201311 ... ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201311' device did not show up after 30 seconds... Falling back to interactive prompt You can try to fix this problem manually, log out when you are finished sh: can't access tty: job control turned off [rootfs /]# Currently I'm using Windows 7 that I'd like to get rid of... This error seems to show up quite frequently, judging by the results brought up by a web search, but in the context of USB sticks, while I am installing from a hard-disk partition. I've considered this bug as "High severity", since it makes the product completely unusable for me. |

Strange conclusion, since not using the image in a way that we distribute it.
The error is pretty clear -- you've not labelled the partition correctly for the initramfs to locate it, mount it, and switch into it. Either change your partition label, or change the bootloader entry.
