blindarch's Issues

external USB bootable devices are not supported

Installer really install Arch Linux on A fixed harddisks. But when user choose some external USB devices it is making problems.
Grub always install its machine loadable code to The fixed harddisk or even to a loop partition. As a result it is not possible to boot from external bootable device. It is very interesting phenomena. Because fixed harddisks are really supported. External USB harddisks are very fast in todays times. So it would be A good idea to think about forcing Grub boot loader to install all of its parts correctly.
Sure, when user select fixed harddisk device, it is absolutely all right and system work. Even hybernation mode is correctly supported.

Extra repoéository issue

Dear specialists, I Am very deeply appreciating your development work on BLindarch. Thank you for recoded installer script. But unfortunately, Because I live in Czech Republic mirrors specified inside repository configuration files causes issue. The extra repository can not be opened. As a result I Am getting bug that extra database is corrupted. I must type pacman -Sy for many times till server get opened.
I Am testing on Virt manager on Fedora Linux.
I have tried to install Archlinux latest version from 2021. Unfortunately, system hangs during reboot. I have used legacy installer. I Am testing it by using KQemu kernel module and special virtualisation Python accessible app called Virt-manager.
I Am currently using latest Fedora 35.0

May be, that it is because latest stable .iso is from July 2021 and ArchLinux up to date repositoryes contain new kernel. Or some other issue occur.

Do you plan to release new .iso image?
May be, that new image is not needed. That it would be necessary to repair installation scripts.
I will try to test it without virtual machine on real hardware.
