parted error location outside of device
Unabled to use archinstall on 2 different laptops. hp probook 440 8250u with 2 drivies Windows on other drive. lenovo IdeaPad ryzen 5700u Windows on same drive. I didn't get the exact error copied it it ends with parted claming location is outside of device. Same error on both devices i also went and tried branch below with the same error. I have drived about 20 times now trying to set / and other ideas but always ends in same error.
Other branch i tried. https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1305#issuecomment-1146698663
I'm installing into an existing unformated linux partition on GPT partiton layout. Using existing EFI vfat on first partition on both machines. I was not able to delete and recreate the partition as it doesn't seem to understand the existing space. So instead i am marking it as / (or not) choosing to format it as btrfs creating @, @home, @.snapshots @log, @pkg choosing to wipe (or not) choosing compress for btrfs (or not) but always getting that same error. It seems to be trying to create a partition even though i am not asking for a partition to be created.
Here is the last time i tried. Though i did try may different ways on both laptops.

Adding partition to BlockDevice(/dev/sdb, size=238.5GB, free_space=1031kB+1048kB+336kB, bus_type=sata), 2099200->83886080
Adding partition using the following parted command: /dev/sdb mkpart primary btrfs 2099200 83886080
I have tried again cloning the master branch. I also captured the error messages.

I tried the suggestion from here https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1343 to install from the cleanup-partition branch. It did get me past the issue and into the installation but then it errors later at the kernel/boot loader. I tried several times again with grub and systemd-boot.

when will the new archinstall come out? this version 2.5 is only serving for installation without partitioning!
1343 Did not solve the issue at all. it got past part of the issue but the installed was still broken across all laptops. I said this above but still there is a solved message claiming it solved this.
So I did try many more times also with a 3rd laptop chromebook 14 it also didn't work at all.
What doesn't work is archinstall from iso. also if different the main branch. Also several other of the branches like cleanup-patitions from svartkanin. These all seem to be 100% broken. It doesn't seem to matter if there is already a partition or not. If the partition is formatted or not.
However by chance i came upon again the 1 and only 1 way i could find to make it work. This worked on all 3 machines and nothing else worked on any of them. You need to have the partition already created and already formatted before the installer runs. Also you need to not ask it to do anything to the partition or format it. The only thing is to choose wipe for the target with mountpoints only given as subvolumes. The /boot partition simply needs to be mounted only wiped if nothing else uses it. Otherwise only mount point nothing else. This is all using btrfs. Again no other combination of anyhthing worked and this only worked on svartkanin fix-1278 branch. Here is the steps.
Have the partition already created or use fdisk from install disk. Also format the drive with as btrfs before hand.
If you need internet wifi assuming your wifi is called wlan0.
iwctl station wlan0 connect "PASSKEY"
Now we need to update pacman then installed git and python-pip
pacman -Syy
pacman -S git python-pip
Now we are going to uninstall archinstall with pip
pip uninstall archinstall
Now we will clone svartkanin's repo and checkout fix-1278
git clone https://github.com/svartkanin/archinstall
cd archinstall
git checkout fix-1278
Ok now we build it.
python setup.py install
python -m archinstall
Now remember to select your pre existing vfat EFI for setting the mount point to /boot. It doesn't need to be flashed. Now we will set the target btrfs partition to be flashed but nothing else. Then created mount points in subvolumes.
@ /
@home /home
@log /var/log
@pkg /var/cache/pacman/pkg
@.snapshots /.snapshots
And set everything else the way you want. Don't for get to add missing packages like firefox pacman-contrib compsize ntfs-3g https://github.com/JeremiahCheatham/archlinux/blob/main/post-archinstall.sh
For some reason zlib was used for compression. I'm not sure why. But to fix this after booting into your system. You can edit your fstab to replace zlib what ever with zstd:1 there will be one for each of your subvolumes. then unmount your /boot and run this on you on your system
sudo nano /etc/fstab
Change each zlib to zstd:1 and save.
sudo umount /boot
sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -czstd -rv /
Right away your filesystem will shrink and run faster. reboot so all new files will also be compressed the same.
@JeremiahCheatham I did everything described in this poster but without success, it still fails to install!
I have the same problem, with iso 2022.06.01 everything installs (because there is an old version of archinstall) (Error related to PARTUUID)
I have the same problem, with iso 2022.06.01 everything installs (because there is an old version of archinstall) (Error related to PARTUUID)
the way is to wait for the script to be updated!
Got the same issue with 2.5.0-1 in the 2022.07.01 version, tried to let it make the fat32 partition cause the efi partition always errored saying that it's too small, I then resized it (from 100 -> 800 MB) and it still showed the same error (on the exact same file!) Tried to install arch using archinstall for a good few hours now, only got errors tho

The method i wrote above is still the only one that seems to work. So if you are trying to install still please try that method. It is what i had to use on both june and july iso to install. The point is you need to create and format those partitions before running archinstall. And do not tell archinstall to format. However use flash when needed. https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1352#issuecomment-1171711442
Also sorry i didn't mention but partitioning is done with the following. Understand this is destructive and any partition deleted means that partition in now gone. Do not delete anything you haven't backed up. lsblk to see what device you wish to work with.
lsblk
Partition with fdisk.
fdisk /dev/sdX
and formatting is done with the following.
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1
or
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdXN
or
mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdXN
I tried your solution and it seems to work fine, I had to make both partitions (the data one, and the efi partition) manually and don't make it wipe any partition, as you stated.
I'm re-installing it yet again from a clean state with the original archinstall again, and I now get 'device_instance' errors, as before, but this is probably another issue.
EDIT: fixed it by running mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdaX, for some reason... It would be great to have more descriptive error messages for this great tool!
yeah i didn't need to make the efi because i was installing it besides windows and other linux. So i already had it. But yeah basically you make sure your partitions are created and formatted first. And if you do retain your efi then don't flash it. but you will need to flash your data.

so /dev/sd.... this is your how the kernel sees your serial ata devices think hdd or ssd. a b c is /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc so you need to use lsblk list block devices to see what device you want to work with. make sure you know which drive so you dont delete something you shouldn't. then there are partitions on sda it would be /dev/sda1 or second /dev/sda2 you need to read about this maybe more. here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/installation_guide#Partition_the_disks
also nvme show up like /dev/nvme0n1p1 or something like that.
I had windows before as well and tried to install it there, but (in an unrelated problem) it showed me that the EFI partition was full (for some reason)
My new clean install (with a reset EFI) works now, at least it seems like it (grub installation finished, it's not installing lightdm and other packages)
So for windows i used a free 3rd party tool i looked up to resize the partitions. I shrank my windows partion in half and also moved over the rest so they left me with half the room I also shrank the begining too a little in order to give the widnows efi partion 1gb becuase sometimes adding files will mean you run out. I had already done all this before tryign to use the archinstall script. I have a sort of install example on my github i used for myself. but i wanted to see what i was missing or what the official one worked like. You probably want to read the official arch linux install instructions. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/installation_guide
also if you like you can check out mine. Though it's no expert it's just kind of a reference for myself. And it's not complete with driver video acceleration. but it may answer questions from the arch guide.

If it installed without error and you did let it enter the chroot to finish before rebooting. If no error occorred. Then i would guess that maybe you didn't choose a desktop? I'm not really sure on that one. First make sure while installing to see if you filled in all the options including the one asking about what desktop you want. I only know the kde option so far. If it is still no error but no lightdm then maybe open new separate ticket to get some help on that specifically. I only have knowlage with this specific issue. But agian i stalled the kde version.
I couldn't install arch linux until I've manually formatted the install partition to ext4 instead of trying to do it from the archinstall options.
