Inallation

Assumptions

  • VirtualBox
  • No EFI efivar -l should error out
  • 4G RAM determines swap size
  • 160GB HDD /dev/sda is assumed. check with lsblk

Partitioning

gdisk

  1. 1M BIOS Boot for GRUB /dev/sda1
  2. 4G Linux swap /dev/sda2
  3. rest Linux LVM for home /dev/sda4

Formatting and mounting

Swap

mkswap /dev/sda2 swapon /dev/sda2

LVM

pvcreate /dev/sda3 vgcreate vg1 /dev/sda3 lvcreate -L 30G vg1 -n root lvcreate -l +100%FREE vg1 -n home mkfs.btrfs -L ROOT /dev/vg1/root mkfs.btrfs -L HOME /dev/vg1/home mount /dev/vg1/root /mnt mkdir /mnt/home mount /dev/vg1/home /mnt/home

Set Mirrors

  1. ensure connectivity ping -c 3 www.google.com if failed, then https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration
  2. get trusted mirrors wget -nv -O - ‘https://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/?country=US&protocol=https&ip_version=4&use_mirror_status=on’ | egrep ‘berkeley|kernel’ | sed -e ‘s/^#//’ > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.bak && rankmirrors /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.bak > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist && cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Install and Configure

pacstrap /mnt base base-devel genfstab -U -p /mnt > /mnt/etc/fstab arch-chroot /mnt echo <hostname> > /etc/hostname ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime locale-gen echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > etc/locale.conf setfont UniCyr_8x16 # http://alexandre.deverteuil.net/pages/consolefonts echo FONT=UniCyr_8x16 > /etc/vconsole.conf passwd pacman -S btrfs-progs mkinitcpio -p linux

Network

  • find module of your network card in lspci -v | less
  • confirm module was loaded dmesg | grep e1000
  • if not, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration#Load_the_module
  • change device name to “net1” echo SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="`ip addr show `ls sys/class/net –color=never | egrep “^wl|^en”` | grep link | awk ‘{print $2}’`", NAME="net1" > /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules && cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules

Add LVM Hook if / is on LVM

sed -i ‘s/block /block lvm2 /’ /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

Bootloader

pacman -S grub vim grub-install –target=i386-pc –recheck –debug /dev/sda vim /etc/default/grub grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

LVM integration if / is on LVM

sed -i ‘s/GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES=”/GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES=”lvm /’ /etc/default/grub sed -i ‘s/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”root=\/dev\/mapper\/vg1-root /’ /etc/default/grub
