PKGBUILDs VS archinstall

Unfortunately, as another commenter has pointed out, communication between the maintainers and users has become extremely intransparent and sluggish, especially as of late. I have not tried getting in touch myself so feel free to try, but judging by how the recent PR for the linux-aarch64 package went, I wouldn't be too optimistic.

Arch Linux ARM does support C4 with mainline kernel, though requires some patching and custom packages - see https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/pull/1840

https://archlinuxarm.org/ supports ARMv8, tho not sure if it supports this specific chip

There is an ARM port though.. https://archlinuxarm.org/

I have then opened a pull request aiming to fix the issue by updating the kernel package to the latest stable release (lately 6.1.12, also chosen as LTS). This pull request has been kept up-to-date with every new 6.1.y release but sadly been ignored so far (it's been 3 weeks), like many others.

Hello. Since I’m following the progress of Asahi Linux and its Arch Linux distro I’m wondering if you have a plan to release an official image on https://archlinuxarm.org

I've not used it, but why not https://archlinuxarm.org/? Or there's an ARM-based remix of Endeavour, for example.

These would be awesome for build servers, and testing.

I really like Graviton from AWS, and Apple Silicon is great, I really hope we move towards ARM64 more. ArchLinux has https://archlinuxarm.org , I would love to use these to build and test arm64 packages.

For a fairly popular port: Arch Linux ARM

In any case, have you studied https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall and https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall. While archinstall is new and has the expected bugs, I've not had your issues before. You might try an earlier ISO, like Oct 2023, though it's not clear if you're using an ISO or the archinstall installed package.

I'm using my laptop as dual boot between Manjaro and Windows 10, I tried for months to install ArchLinux using archinstall tool but the operation always fails with random errors, because I want to install it on a single ext4 partition like how Manjaro is installed. Is there any trusted GUI installer that uses calamares and can install pure ArchLinux ?

The related issue https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1111 implies it's fixed, but either way, you can just securely delete your password after the install.

Mount that partition as /efi. Change this in your /etc/fstab as well. This is a good time to remove all the weird carriage returns that archinstall puts in your fstab file (https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1399).

Most distros have a nice graphical installer which does make things less of a hassle. But these days Arch also bundles archinstall which is quite easy to use and supports a few display environments for automatic setup right out the gate which is nice.

Or just use archinstall which is official part of the iso file.

You can post an issue at: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall to get the attention of the developer. He's represented here but I forget his user id.

If you're still suffering with this problem: Maybe try to find the file/module on your system. If it's present, you might want to try to run this pacman -Sy python archinstall (found it here: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1810) to reinstall python and the archinstall script. I hope that this helps you.

Still feels that it is in rapid development phase, rather than just maintenance, last month I encountered this bug
