arch-linux-configuration's Introduction

Arch linux configuration

This repository contains, free as in freedom, scripts to configure your archiso environment.

The current change log can be found here.

See my archzfs page if you want to know more.

This is a hard fork from eoli3n/archiso-zfs. For the history, eoli3n asked me kindly to do a hard fork, so I did.

How to use

Boot your archiso, either an iso with build in OpenZFS support or by adding OpenZFS support on runtime.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/stevleibelt/arch-linux-configuration
#if you want to setup upstream too
#git remote add upstream https://github.com/eoli3n/arch-config
#git fetch upstream

arch-linux-configuration's Issues

BUG: zfskernelmode not set when `zfs-dkms` is selected

There is an issue in the zfs install 01-configuration.sh file.

Current behavior

If you select arch-dkms, you will end up in a not processable 02-install.sh call.
The section zfskernelmode is empty in the install.conf.

Expected behavior

If you select arch-dkms, you are able to call 02-install.sh without any error.

Bug: zfs installation -> linux-headers are not installed

Current Behavior

linux{-lts}-headers are not installed.
There is a bug in the 02-install.sh with the line {kernel-headers}. This will never result in something like linux-headers.

Expected Behavior

linux{-lts}-headers are installed

FR: Adding a feature to create encrypted swap partition

@Kodiman wrote the following issue in the arch-linux-live-cd-iso-with-zfs issue section.

The reason was the missing issue section/feature in here.

Hi, Stev, Your fork of Arch-Config zfs script is excellent. Particularly the improvements you made. Please consider adding a feature to create encrypted swap partition. Your thoughts about this? Much appreciated. Thanks

See this link for information and syntax about swap. Perhaps can copy and paste this into your scripts...
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/User:Kayvlim/Install_UEFI_and_BIOS_compatible_Arch_Linux_with_Encrypted_ZFS_and_ZFSBootMenu#Swap...
Please note sections 2.1.4, 2.2, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, and 4.2 regarding swap.

Not boot after installation

I have just installed Arch linux on ZFS on a KVM/QEMU virtual machine!
All the installation process completed without any problem
However, I cannot boot into the system, just the live boot environment.
Even in case I remove the live boot env, all that left was just a blank shell from UEFI mode of KVM/QEMU.
I installed systemd-boot previously and had no luck too
If you have any solution, pls let me know! Thank you so much!

Failed installation

I'm running into errors during the installation step that results in a failed installation, that doesn't boot. I'm using archlinux-archzfs-linux-lts-dkms-20230701 from https://github.com/stevleibelt/arch-linux-live-cd-iso-with-zfs/releases, which is running kernel version 6.1.37-1-lts. During installation I'm choosing linux-lts kernel instead of the default linux kernel (I noticed when choosing the default it installs 6.4, which I don't believe has zfs support yet), and archzfs-linux-lts.

Afterwards, there are files in /mnt/boot, but /mnt/efi is empty.

Attached is a log of the entire installation process. Is there anything I can do to get this working?
