[JK3mp]

Well title says it all trying to setup Arch linux for a friend( already hav it on mine) and some reason i get Grub Error 22. Didn't have to do much with my config, don't know why i can't figure this out. For more detailed info on it. head to my arch linux post (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=544030) where i got some of them workin on it but no luck yet. THought maybe someone here could help out. Thanks.

Sounds to me like its not been installed properly. If you boot from a live cd are any files installed?

[JK3mp]

Well it lets me navigate around a bit anywho.. if thats what you mean. Also read my Arch Forum posts linked above to see what i tried, exactly how i installed it (partition and grub setup) etc. That'll probably help if you think its my own error.(which it likely is)

I'm only guessing, it that doesn't help you then please post your fdisk output. I'm not sure of the command for that in Arch.
In Ubuntu it's 'sudo fdisk -lu'.
That information and/or the output from 'sudo blkid' is almost needed when considering boot loader problems.
EDIT: Oh, sorry, you already posted it in the other forum,

Sorry forgot to mention that i already did that, just neglected it in the code on arch forums, :(. my bad. And i'll get right on the fdisk output.

I think you need to put in the disc UUID there and make sure it has the right root of course


kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid> ro



ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/ will give the UUID.

You may be able to put

Not entirely sure what you mean but here's the output of ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/
