It is a pity that Gentoo's rolling upgrade is not enough. I heard that archlinux is also a rolling upgrade, and it is relatively simple. Start.
Now we can test it in a virtual machine. We plan to install it on a physical machine.
I wanted to use it as a system, so I purchased the sdhc 8g class10 memory card and installed archlinux separately.
Download the archlinux-2011.08.19-core-i686 (previous) from which archiso is extracted. copy the IMG and vmlinuz files to drive C, copy the image files to the root directory of drive C, and rename it archlinux. ISO.
After the preparation is complete, boot and boot (grub4dos was installed on the hard disk when slackware was originally installed, which is still available). On the grub4dos selection page, press "c" to go to the command line interface:
Root (hd0, 1)
Kernel/vmlinux archisolabel = archiso
Initrd/arachiso. img
Boot
Then press Enter. Normally, it will not proceed smoothly. If the next step goes smoothly, it seems abnormal. The next step will surely be stuck in a shell, prompting you to find anything or the like. In nageshell, perform the following work:
# Mkdir/win
# Mkdir-P/dev/Disk/by-label
# Mount-r-t NTFS/dev/sda2/win
# Modprose Loop
# Losetup/dev/loop6/win/archlinux. ISO
# Ln-S/dev/loop6/dev/Disk/by-label/archiso
# Exit
Enter exit and press Enter. There is no difference between the later version and the CD installation. I will not go into details.
Installed on the memory card, boot. To facilitate the boot, I installed grub on the SD card. Boot F12 select USB, see archlinux startup interface is very frozen, pretty knock a enter key, start boot, not 50 s, prompt error. I thought it was a file format problem and re-installed it. I chose the ext2 format. Remove the hard disk and boot it separately.
Error. The installed content is copied from the Wiki. So it's stuck at startup :-(
If the level is not enough, you have to record it. After all, it can be installed normally. It cannot be started.
The following error is prompted during startup:
Waiting 10 seconds for devices/dev/Disk/by-UUID/c922223e7-871e-4ebf-b348-45c41f001d95 'doesn' t exist.
Attempting to create it.
Error: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/Disk/by-UUID/uid '.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell.
Type 'exit 'to try and continue booting
SH: can't access tty; Job control turn off

It seems that no device is found.
