Remove autodetect from mkinitcpio HOOKS documentation2026-01-22T21:13:13+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-01-22T21:13:13+00:00urn:sha1:759f199f08e7b499c39f1614380129f0a026bdd7
autodetect during chroot install detects live ISO hardware,
not target machine. Could leave out NVMe/AHCI drivers.
Fix ratio boot issues: firmware, mkinitcpio, and document ZFS rollback dangers2026-01-22T20:27:49+00:00Craig Jenningsc@cjennings.net2026-01-22T20:27:49+00:00urn:sha1:0720a543d0eacf890ec99a6a5b337c85f896d647
Root cause: Missing/outdated linux-firmware broke AMD Strix Halo GPU init.
Fixed by installing linux-firmware 20260110-1.
Changes:
- install-archzfs: Fix mkinitcpio config (remove archiso.conf, fix preset)
- todo.org: Add ZFS rollback + /boot mismatch issue, recommend ZFSBootMenu
- docs/2026-01-22-ratio-boot-fix-session.org: Full troubleshooting session
- docs/2026-01-22-mkinitcpio-config-boot-failure.org: Bug report
- assets/: Supporting documentation and video transcript
Key learnings:
- AMD Strix Halo requires linux-firmware 20260110+
- ZFS rollback with /boot on EFI partition can break boot
- zpool import -R can permanently change mountpoints
