mkinitcpio hook migration and early microcode
With the release of mkinitcpio v38, several hooks previously provided by Arch packages have been moved to the mkinitcpio upstream project. The hooks are: systemd, udev, encrypt, sd-encrypt, lvm2 and mdadm_udev.
[...] Please note that themkinitcpio
flag--microcode
, and themicrocode
option in the preset files, has been deprecated in favour of a newmicrocode
hook. This also allows you to drop the microcodeinitrd
lines from your boot configuration as they are now packed together with the main initramfs image. -
Ultimate Arch Minimal?
Right from the top to the bottom.I recently made an Ultimate Arch Developer Edition. Now let us twist this up. I dropped to the bottom a “Minimal Edition”, no GUI will work great for a “Server Edition”. Bigger plans are coming from TMOSB (TheeMahn’s O/S Builder).
