I am using usb stick to install arch1410. It boots on my old computer(bios) successfully. However,it does not work on my newer one(uefi）. It puts

Code:

  ::Mounting '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201410' to '/run/archiso/bootmnt'
  ::Device '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201410' mounted successfully
  ::mounting /run/archiso/cowspace(tmpfs)filesystem,size=75%...
  losetup: /run/archiso/bootmnt/x86_64/airootfs.sys: failed to set up loop device: No such file or directory
  ::Mounting ''to '/run/archiso/sfs/airootfs'
  Waiting 30 seconds for device...
  [ 5.520950] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page found
  [ 5.521010] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
  ERROR device not show after 30 seconds.
  falling back to ...
  sh：can't access tty;job turned off

I tried several method on the web to fix it (arch wiki...). They all did not work.
Really don't know what to do...

I found arch20140601.iso should work!

you should search on archlinux forums.
if this is an issue, chances are it's been addressed already.
if you need tio ask, ask there.
if you need to ask there, remeber to include as much information as possible & necessary, and what you already tried to solve the problem.

Why are you using an old .iso?

Download the current version (the December 2014 image is just out).

The Arch .iso will boot in EFI-mode; in fact, it will even boot up with Secure Boot enabled...

How have you burned the .iso to the memory stick?

When you say "I have tried several methods" to fix it: what methods did you try?
