Hello everyone!
I tried to install archlinux32 on my emachines netook after years and years of magnificent Architude... But something went wrong.
The booting process stops at this line:
starting versione 238
/dev/sda2: clean, 45494/3276800 files, 543672/13107200 blocks
sda2 is the partition where the root is mounted.
I've tried to disable the partition checking in fstab but it didn't work.
Can someone help me?
Thanks

Hi, can you add a 'debug' option to grub and see what the other messages are?

Hi!
I added a debug option as described here but the grub seems to work fine, instead the booting continues to stopping at the same point with no other messages.

Hi SabinaS,
press Ctrl Alt F2 after boot, is there a text mode? If so, login as root and delete the quiet option in /etc/default/grub.
Reboot and you can see what happens with your installation.
Good luck.

Hello Stefan!
Ctrl+Alt+F2 works fine and I could login as root.
I tried to remove the quiet option from /etc/default/grub but nothing seems happened.
So, I also tried to remove the quiet option from /boot/grub/grub.cfg from the line
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=xxxxx rw quiet
and that's the result: Image
It only stops some steps later .

So, can you try to log in into the text console and start X manually (startx)? Also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for
errors..

Aeh. Graphical booting without Xorg will not work, just hang. :-)

Intel GMA 3150 => hope xf86-video-intel works for you, if not, try xf86-video-vesa.

Hi, back again.
As Andreas said, install xf86-video-intel, xorg & co., a desktop and your favourite display manager.
Startx, systemctl start/enable all you want and enjoy.
Wish everyone a peaceful night.

Hello,
thank you for your help.
I installed a display manager and so it runs correctly...
I have a question: in the 64bit versione, there's no necessity to install the desktop enviroment to run the system. What about this 32 bit version?
Let me explain better ... Can I use arch32 even without a graphic environment or is it strictly necessary?

Yes, no problem, sure you can use ist withou any graphical user environment.
Just don't enable any display managers as sddm, gdm, slim, etc in systemd.
You can still login via text mode and use 'startx' to get into the graphical desktop.
There is even a plain-text display manager for systemd logins, see
