When booting the ISO, you can observe a message that systemd-gpt-auto-generator has failed:
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: Reading EFI variable /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderDevicePartUUID-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: open("/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderDevicePartUUID-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f") failed: No such file or directory
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: EFI loader partition unknown, exiting.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: (The boot loader did not set EFI variable LoaderDevicePartUUID.)
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: Failed to open device: No such device
Seeing as it started to appear relatively recently, it may be a systemd bug.
Since we do not want any GPT partition automounting in the live environment anyway, systemd-gpt-auto-generator can simply be disabled.
Fixes#164.
Now that pacman 6 is around, enable parallel downloads to speed up the installation
process. Added to the baseline configuration to also improve the pipeline.
* virtualbox-guest-utils-nox package and vboxservice.service for VirtualBox.
* qemu-guest-agent package and qemu-guest-agent.service for QEMU & libvirt.
Implements #118.
configs/baseline/bootstrap_packages.x86_64:
Add a packages file for bootstrap images using the baseline profile and add arch-install-scripts and base to it.
EROFS, like Squashfs, is a read-only file system. It can be used to store airootfs in an image file.
Its advantage is the support for POSIX ACLs. EROFS downside is that currently it only supports LZ4 compression (LZMA support is not yet fully implemented).
A difference from Squashfs is that, EROFS stores change time (ctime) not modification time (mtime). The reverse is true for Squashfs.
Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/59
profiledef.sh can now contain an associative array called file_permissions which can be used to set custom ownership and mode of custom airootfs files. The array's keys contain the path and the value is a colon separated list of owner UID, owner GID and access mode.
For example:
file_permissions=(
["/etc/shadow"]="0:0:400"
)
This means that mkarchiso now copies airootfs files (and directores) without permissions and anything that should be owned by a user other than root and/or if the mode should be something other than 644 for files and 755 for directories must to be listed in ${file_permission[@]} in profiledef.sh.
Fixes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/61 .
configs/{baseline,releng}/build.sh:
Remove `build.sh` scripts. They were deprecated with v47.
archiso/mkarchiso:
Remove all `build.sh` related functionality (i.e. `command_pkglist()`, `command_iso()`, `command_prepare()`,
`command_install()`, `command_init()`, `command_run()`).
Rename `command_build_profile()` to `_build_profile()` to be more in line with the style of the other function naming.
Change `_show_config()` to only print info about the profile and make no more use of parameters.
Remove all help output related to legacy `build.sh` commands.
Fixes#51
Slightly simplifies adding boot loader configuration for more kernels.
Unfortunately the INCLUDE statement doesn't support wildcards, so each new file must be manually included in the main syslinux configuration file (syslinux.cfg for baseline and archiso_sys.cfg for releng).
**archiso/mkarchiso**:
Change all override option parameters (i.e. `-A`, `-C`, `-D`, `-L`, `-P` and `-g`) to not directly override the global
variable they are tied to, but instead using an `override_` prefixed variable.
Add `_set_overrides()` to use `override_` prefixed variables (if set) to override those without a prefix.
Remove `-B` (a profile directory) from the list of parameters. The profile directory is now provided as separate
non-option parameter.
Add a call to `_read_profile()`, `_set_overrides()` and `command_build_profile()` to the fallthrough option of the
switch-case checking `command_name` - a non-option parameter to mkarchiso. This effectively provides the possibility to
set the profile directory using a non-option parameter, while still maintaining compatibility to legacy named arguments
used in the configs' `build.sh` scripts.
Extend the warning in regards to legacy `build.sh` based commands to mkarchiso by providing an EOL with archiso v49.
Change the help output to reflect the changes and further elaborate on the legacy commands used by `build.sh` scripts.
Change help output to be ordered alphabetically.
Add help output for `-r` and `-g` options.
Call `_set_overrides()` for legacy commands that accept one or more of the overriden options (i.e. `command_init`,
`command_install`, `command_prepare` and `command_iso`).
Various style fixes.
**configs/{baseline,releng}/build.sh**:
Change call to mkarchiso to use the profile's directory as a named argument instead of an option-argument.
**README.rst**:
Fix documentation on how to call mkarchiso with a profile directory.
Fix wording and ordering of option arguments for run_archiso documentation.
Fixes#52
Boot mode names are:
- bios_syslinux.mbr: SYSLINUX in MBR
- bios.syslinux.eltorito: SYSLINUX (ISOLINUX) via El Torito
- uefi-x64.systemd-boot.esp: systemd-boot on ESP in MBR
- uefi-x64.systemd-boot.eltorito: systemd-boot on ESP via El Torito
It is not yet possible to create an ISO with only El Torito or only MBR boot modes!

Add list of all direct contributors to the repository.
CONTRIBUTING.rst:
Add basic contribution guidelines, explaining the linter and the license in use.
Closes#7Closes#3
configs/*:
Copy all files that do not need a rename generically (not specifying a destination file name).
Do not rename vmlinuz-linux to vmlinuz or vmlinuz.efi (as this serves no purpose and makes the scripts more
complicated).
Do not rename microcode (i.e. {amd,intel}-ucode.img) when copying them and change all boot loader configuration files
that assume a renamed microcode image.
Add note and link to Arch Linux wiki to state why memtest.bin is renamed to memtest.
Copy license files for {amd,intel}-ucode and memtest more generically by placing them into subdirectories with the same
name as the package (to circumenvent overwriting one other).
Closes#33
configs/{baseline,releng}/build.sh:
Copy custom files to airootfs before installing packages.
Instead of calling `mkarchiso init`, list all required packages in packages.x86_64 and install them all at once with `mkarchiso install`. The mkdir command which `mkarchiso init` performs is now done by make_custom_airootfs.
configs/releng/build.sh:
Don't copy configs/releng/pacman.conf to airootfs, it is only meant to provide a unmodified pacman.conf durring pacstrap. In airootfs, an unmodified /etc/pacman.conf will be installed with the pacman package.
archiso/mkarchiso:
Quoting all variables.
Changing pkg_list to be an array instead of a string for easier
handling. Using read to properly populate pkg_list from OPTARG with
stripped whitespaces.
Not exporting iso_label anymore as there seems to be no reason to do so.
Introducing line breaks.
.editorconfig:
Setting max_line_length to 120.
Adding a section for YAML files (e.g. .gitlab-ci.yml).
configs/releng/build.sh
Quting nearly all variables.
Introducing line breaks.
configs/baseline/build.sh:
Quoting all variables.
Introducing line breaks.
.gitlab-ci.yml:
