@amoka, that's a temporary issue. It will be solved when archiso 46 is released and lands in extra.

To use mkinitcpio-archiso-git instead of mkinitcpio-archiso:

  1. Setup a custom local repo and add mkinitcpio-archiso-git to it. Alternatively use an AUR helper that uses a custom local repo.
  2. Add the repo to configs/*/pacman.conf. There's an example at the end of the file.
  3. Replace mkinitcpio-archiso with mkinitcpio-archiso-git in configs/*/packages.x86_64.

@amoka: Thanks for the heads up. I can reproduce that and already found a fix. Will add a merge request asap.

Thanks @dvzrv, but I am still getting errors with that... I suspect my gpg setup is broken :/

❯ gpg --auto-key-locate wkd --search-keys dvzrv@archlinux.org

gpg: error searching keyserver: General error
gpg: keyserver search failed: General error

Any suggestions?

Thanks

UPDATE: I cloned the package manually and installed that way without issue. I think there is some kind of an issue happening between yay and gpg but it doesn't appear to be to do with this package. Thanks again for your help!

@bradwood: You can use WKD.

gpg --auto-key-locate wkd --search-keys dvzrv@archlinux.org

Can we build lz4 initrd instead of xz?

I enabled lz4 in archiso/airootfs/etc/mkinitcpio.conf and commented out xz and got the following error during build:

install: error writing 'archiso/work/mnt/efiboot/EFI/archiso/archiso.img': No space left on device

Obviously, I have disk space!

@amoka: Thanks for the heads up! Sorry, that's on my plate. I introduced that bug :-/ Should be fixed soon!

A fix for the can't stat archiso.img issue is waiting in https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/merge_requests/68 .

The bootmodes are briefly explained in https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/commit/7c2247f615ecdff8d236ac90c4bec1c3d255a497 . Basically:

  • bios_syslinux.mbr writes SYSLINUX MBR boot code to the ISO image's MBR. It's used for BIOS booting when the image is written to disk with dd.
  • bios.syslinux.eltorito provides El Torito booting. It's used for BIOS booting from an optical disc.
  • uefi-x64.systemd-boot.esp writes the FAT image's (efiboot.img) location in the ISO image's partition table (currently MBR, but I'm thinking about changing this; that's why the option was renamed from the initial uefi-x64.systemd-boot.mbr; suggestions for a better name are welcome) as an EFI system partition. It's used for UEFI booting when the image is written to disk with dd.
  • uefi-x64.systemd-boot.eltorito lists the FAT image (efiboot.img) in El Torito. It's used for UEFI booting from an optical disc.

Note that currently for BIOS booting both bios_syslinux.mbr and bios.syslinux.eltorito must be used, and for UEFI: both uefi-x64.systemd-boot.esp and uefi-x64.systemd-boot.eltorito.
