Archlinux does not boot up?

[misterzabala]

Whenever I try to do step 5 of the guide, after following everything else to the letter, I just get greeted by a screen that says

Arch Linux install medium (x86_64, UEFI)
Arch Linux install medium (x86_64, UEFI) with speech
Arch Linux install medium (x86_64, UEFI, copy to RAM)
EFI Shell
Reboot Into Firmware Interface

Choosing any of the first three options just end up in a blank screen. Not sure where to go from here or did I configure something wrong?

Any of first 3 should work, but if it doesn't, then all I can suggest is that you try out other distros like Ubuntu? I can't really troubleshooting those stuff at the moment, sorry!

I've managed to use another distro and booted it up, thanks. I am really unversed on things like this but would really like to try this solution.

One last question...in step 6 for running the following:

iptables-t nat -A POSTROUTING -s <local_ip> -o <device_name> -j MASQUERADE

with the instruction replace <device_name> with the equivalent of eth0 on above output.

My question is... which part of the output do I actually replace <device_name> with? Using the example there (and I know I have to use what it outputs on my side)

Do I copy the whole output like

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.5/24 -o <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:15:5d:12:1d:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.0.5/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::215:5dff:fe12:1d00/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever -j MASQUERADE

or just do something like

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.5/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

?

Did you figure it out? I also need to know which part of eth0 is the device name

[bankjaneo]

In general case, you can find Ethernet device name with this command.

ip route get 8.8.8.8 | awk -- '{printf $5}'

Can you help with this please?
