Partitions lost after upgrating arch image

Postby tomcom » Fri May 24, 2013 12:52 pm

I just installed the archlinux-hf-2013-02-11 image.
After updating the kernel every thing is gone on th sd card. GParted says that no partions were found.
It s the same effect on updatin linux-raspberrypi or on replacing it by linux-raspberrypi-latest.
If I unzip linux-raspberrypi-latest.tar.xz package by hand the kernel update is successfull but the entetiy in the pacman datebase is wrong.
hhmm ... perhaps it is not the installation of linux-raspberrypi(-latest) but the unistall routin of the old package?

I am not sure what is going wrong there, but you might just want to download and install the most recent image. They are behind in posting the link on the Foundation download page. When I installed the May image, I made an educated guess about the correct URL for the mirror I wanted to use, and that worked, but here is the direct link posted by pepedog before at the foundation forum for it:

http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/downlo ... 14.img.zip [Edited link for zip file, linking to directory results in forbidden error]

I am getting "403 Forbidden" when I try to access the link you posted, can you still access it? What's weird is I was just there yesterday, so if others are also getting the forbidden message, the site must have just changed the permissions. I was still able to access the directory at one of the mirrors.

Here is a link that seems to work now, edit it to get torrent instead:

http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/downlo ... 14.img.zip

I have noticied sometimes the directory works, sometimes not, weird. It may depend on whether mirrors are downloading or not, or some gremlin at work there.

When I downloaded my May image, I went to a favorite mirror and edited the link there accordingly, notice that the name of the actual image is a slightly different format, that threw me for a while two weeks ago until I somehow found the right file name.
