It seems that the cloud-image versions of arch are no longer detectable as bootable by OVMF BIOS, and thus cannot be imported as disks if you intend to use OVMF/UEFI BIOS (You cannot change this decision post install). It certainly gives the impression to me that the cloud images are intended for use with both, provided one can configure everything correctly.Īs an update, I have been able to launch archinstall in an Arch VM using the latest Arch ISO just fine on an OVMF/q35 system. ![]() Surely if UEFI BIOS is not an option with a cloud image, the installation becomes a 1 step process: Install from the official cloud image onto a SeaBIOS configured VM. What gives me reason to believe that booting the Arch cloud image with UEFI is possible, is that same link, and the section you highlighted appears to be step 1 of a 2 step installation process:ġ.1) Choose your BIOS and prepare your system accordinglyġ.2) Install from the official cloud image. Whilst that link does say that you cannot switch between BIOS (SeaBIOS) to UEFI (OVMF) after installation and you must install it in the mode you want to use it later, as I have been unable to boot to the installation yet with UEFI, no such installation has yet taken place - and indeed if the mode I want to use the system in later is UEFI, I cannot proceed with a SeaBIOS installation (beyond temporarily trying this for testing purposes), as I would be unable to convert that installation to UEFI later. I followed the instructions in the link above and successfully disabled secure boot, but still after multiple reboots and reattaching the disk, I cannot get it detected with OVMF BIOS.Īny ideas where to look You will have to forgive my ignorance on the subject of cloud images as opposed to traditional ISO's. I did note this additional piece of documentation that claims that Arch won't boot in OVMF with Secure Boot Enabled: When switching to OVMF, the boot passes over the drive with "not found". ![]() When booting in Seabios, Arch is detected and loads fine. In this repository I downloaded the file "Arch-Linux-x86_64-cloudimg.qcow2" from the "latest" folder to Proxmox, and verified it with SHA256, imported it as a disk into a fresh VM, and set the boot order appropriately. The page above details the Proxmox installation process in the table, with a link to the cloud image being:įrom here I clicked the link provided for the qcow2 images, noting the definition of "Cloud Image" lower down, which matches up with the expectations set by the former documentation: On your standard full distribution, this is all handled for you, removing the necessity to manually connect to a WAP.I am trying to install Arch Linux via the official cloud image, which lists Proxmox as a tested provider: This is where iwctl, and similar utilities come into play, they allow you to communicate and connect to Wireless Access Points by utilizing 802.11. ![]() When you use Wi-Fi (802.11) you are not communicating bidirectionally on the physical layer with a Wireless Access Point. While utilizing ethernet, dhcp will enable you to gain a routable address within a network, that you already are automatically communicating on the physical layer bidirectionally with. Are you using iwctl as instructed by the Installation Guide on the Arch-Linux wiki? It's generally not recommended to use videos when installing Arch, as Arch's base is typically updated monthly and this can result in changes to the installation process.įor a little more clarification why you need to review this, setting wlan0 to "up" only administratively enables the interface, it does not connect you to a network. ![]()
