archinstall abnormal exit

[Yheffe]

Sorry if there is a lack of information. Trying to use archinstall on my desktop after having success with a few laptops.

archinstall fails very quickly after issuing command.

log and command output included..

I’m sure I have simply missed something in the bios.

I can’t seem find anything on this issue.

Note: this is not a VM installation.

I'm wondering if you have a disk label/partition label that contains native language? like backup hårddisk and that it causes an issue?

Would this be and potential issue with live usb or drive installed in pc?

[Torxed]

not sure, could you post the output of lsblk --json?

[Yheffe]

I am unable to scroll for some reason. But here is what I have. I also ran lsblk -b

[Torxed]

Unfortunately I need the string that is hidden hehe. You can enable scrolling with lsblk -f -o+TYPE,SIZE -J | less -S

It's specifically the label field that I'm worried is weird. Myabe lsblk -f -o+TYPE,SIZE will be enough tho and thus no need to scroll :)

That worked! Here is the entire output!

I booted up gparted and deleted all partitions on sda1 and then rebooted into arch and now archinstall is working! But I'm still curious what happened lol I did notice the odd label on the disk...

[Torxed]

Yea it's the label for sure. I'll see if I can add some error handling, it's going to be hard without doing str.replace() on weird things, or clean it before hand. As I don't think there's a flag for it to lbslk or the python module json.

But we'll get that sorted :)

We can probably close this for now as it may be resolved with the move to pyparted
