I've tried other small trick, but nothing work good.
It's my first day with Arch, and I'm not a linux expert but I want to understand what I do. If someone can help me to place me on the right way, its would be nice. (Ho, and, sorry for my bad english :S )
Ok, thank you for the suggestion. When I've read this, I've just wanted to say, "Guy, how many time do you think I've read this page ? Maybe more than 10..."
And before reply, I read your faqs in your signature, spend more than one hour of reading some subject. That was very interesting. Thank for the sharing.
I will try to be more independent of forums, read more, try more to fix problem by myself.

That tells us nothing.
When linking pages, please show the English page. Did you follow the instructions in that page to set the "legacy_boot" attribute for GUID Partition Table ?.

well first of all the beginner's guide is more than one page, because quite often you are required to follow links, do what it says there, then return to where you left.
so if you followed the beginner's guide, your original thread should read something like this:
- after executing step N of the beginner's guide, it asked me to do M, but because of P i can't continue to Q.
- please also note that in step J is decided to do K instead of L, because i want it that way.
J-Q are variables. we need the information they contain to be able to help you to solve your problem.

chances are, by the time you provided this information, you will yourself have a much clearer picture of the problem and be able to solve it yourself.

thank you, that's nice to hear. not many even bother, or if they do, start spitting venom after reading it. why, i do not know.

Of course and I've read these. (and more than one time)

Here, the installation drive is assumed to be GPT-partioned, and have the EFI System Partition (gdisk type EF00, formatted with FAT32) mounted at /boot.
The partition /boot must be FAT32 or EXT4 formated ?
If I boot on the UEFI option. It's work, it's show me a panel where I can select "Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI CD". But If I select this ... Black screen.
And with the second option, I have a panel too, but with a image and I can properly boot on and get a console.
So I follow the tutorial with the seconds option, and when I must do this command:
Quote:
[root@archiso /]# bootctl install
Not booted with EFI, skipping EFI variable setup.

This topic is resolved. Solution: my computer look like if it's doesn't support UEFI, so I use the most simply config: MSDOS -> only 1 partition, no crypt, and I had installed syslinux. It's work.
