arch iso broken on multiple USB, checksum is good

[nova rivet]

@nova rivet can you send the entire error message?

I only see parts of it.

is the archiso the latest version?

ah thats newer then mine lol

maybe the system is incompatible?

try booting it on another pc or laptop

hm

i had an iso that wouldnt boot at all on my laptop but would on my pc i had to format then write the iso so maybe try that

i have done that so many times

[craggy glen]

how did you put it in the usb

[nova rivet]

d o n t u s e k d e d i s c ov e r t o u p d a t e y o u r s y s t e m

yeah

try rufus from a windows system (idk if rufus is on linux)

Ethernet should work out of the box. You only have to use iwctl if you don’t have a wired connection.

[craggy glen]

try another method I guess

cp

[nova rivet]

yeah

idk

hm

what chipset does the system your installing on have?

no

like these https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/chipsets/desktop-chipsets/products.html

but maybe another brand

If you don’t mind, I can help you with the installation tomorrow.
We can walk through it together and make a fresh installation with BTRFS and GRUB.

[nova rivet]

In case you can’t figure your problem out.

[nova rivet]

Nope. We use ventoy or Balena

[craggy glen]

try cp to the /dev/sd...

[nova rivet]

.aw ventoy

[unreal mason]

Arch Wiki: Ventoy

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ventoy

[nova rivet]

i use ventoy i only use rufus if ventoy wants to be dum

[craggy glen]

try booting the iso first?

[nova rivet]

Make ventoy usb > copy archiso > reboot & enjoy

[craggy glen]

when you boot the iso is there another option?

try the other one

[nova rivet]

That’s akward.

I use Ventoy and the newest ISO to make installations, and I’ve never had any problems with the internet.
The only time I had trouble was when I didn’t have an Ethernet connection but had to rely on a wireless connection.

so maybe the usb port or chipset on your system is kinda weird or dying

only thing i can think of

try another port on the computer

Cough cough EndeavourOS

[craggy glen]

was there? in the boot menu

no before that screen

[nova rivet]

Yeah you can just use EndeavourOS for now and then use a Virtual Machine to play around with the vanilla installation process.

Sometimes trying with another USB drive helps. Some cheap USB drives do this stuff

[craggy glen]

in the Mobo boot menu

[nova rivet]

Yup. EndeavourOS will be useful to get used to arch til they can master vanilla arch install

[nova rivet]

👌

[nova rivet]

i just went straight to arch-

Just giving alternatives

Or use ventoy with another USB drive
