## Commands for install
pacman -Syu base linux linux-firmware vim arch-install-scripts efibootmgr networkmanager network-manager-applet dialog os-prober mtools dosfstools base-devel linux-headers
dbus-uuidgen > /etc/machine-id ## Fix for missing machine-id 
genfstab / >> /etc/fstab ## Check your fstab after issuing this command to make sure there aren't other partitions 
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris /etc/localtime ## This is if you're located in Europe with Paris's timezone
hwclock --systohc
vim /etc/locale.gen ## Select your locales
locale-gen
echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.conf ##Assuming you want this locale
echo "arch" >> /etc/hostname
vim /etc/hosts ip hostname ## Here we use vim to modify the hosts file
bootctl --path=/boot install ## Here we begin setting up systemd-boot 
systemctl enable NetworkManager

## For endeavourOS
git clone https://github.com/endeavouros-arm/install-script.git

Yes it is ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest.tar (not a .gz) - The multi-platform version as mentioned.

I used bsdtar but perhaps I am not setting the commands fully, I used debian bullseye to unpack this and set up the hdd for arch with your video. bsdtar is not its own package and refered by libtools-archive. But this does do bsdtar command once installed.

I am going to try to wget the generic distrobution you have in the link, and see if I have any better luck.

It would seem to me that the systemd boot is running tracing which is itself a debug mode on boot. It is definitely well baked into the kernel. Let me try a different version of ArchARM and see if I have any luck. Generic will hopefully work on another attempt.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Hey, although it is local to Parallels on M1, I found a good image to work with here:

pkgbuild.com/~tpowa/parallels/5.16.x/

I should recommend for you also? The best way to build ArchArm aarch64 images I believe is now archboot.

You should look at the git repository. It might simplify your guide for custom installations for many platforms, and you might have a more straightforward video.

I used the image by tpowa, and quickly booted into parallels right away with aarch64 arm. From there running the endeavouros install-scripts (also a git repository) was a quick install of endeavour os.

Final remaining step for myself is installing black arch tools over endeavour os, I updated pacman keyrings to populate archlinux archlinuxarm endeavouros blackarch.

Some manual dependencies to sort mostly python python2 ruby qt4 mingw-w64 sslyze responder donut john solidity libboost gnuradio gcc-multilib lib32-utils.

Then I should have a full EndeavourOS/BlackArch over Aarch64 ARM in Parallels on Mac M1 Mini.

I would do a YouTube myself but the download on BlackArch takes forever as it is 29GB. Oh well.

For sure consider looking at archboot. It could be a life changer for others moving forward.

tpowa made parallels incredibly easy with his image, but a Return Rei version may turn out better ;)
