So, I decided to get off my butt and install Arch Linux, but I seem to have run into a problem.

I got into the main menu, selected to boot Arch, and arch started booting. Soon after, I started getting errors like the following: [ 10.759732] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1436248

Messages like this happened 5 times, then arch started to grab hooks.

Then, after mounting /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201602 to /run/archiso/bootmnt, it said "Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201602..."

It then errored out and threw me into a shell command line. I know the disk burned sucessfully, and the ISO wasn't tampered with, so... Any Ideas?

Ok, so, update: Was able to rig up a way to boot from USB, tried writing the image to a USB, and now I no longer get the I/O errors I was getting, but I still got this message: "Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201602..." and I still got thrown out to the command line. Tried 2 different USB, re-downloaded the ISO and re-verified the MD5 hash of it, and I'm still getting this error. :|

    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:

    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.

    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
