From bc55f7f6e3886bb2a1f4faab3502b3209e114486 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: xengineering Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2025 22:27:26 +0200 Subject: articles: arch-installation: Remove serial support The Linux kernel uses the last `console=` kernel command line parameter as the "primary console". Only on that one the LUKS unlock prompt is displayed. Thus at the moment only one of the two consoles (serial / graphical) can be fully supported. Graphical is chosen since it is the more "default" option which should work everywhere. Full dual-support is appreciated and might be possible to implement in the future. --- content/articles/arch-installation.md | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/content/articles/arch-installation.md b/content/articles/arch-installation.md index 57c7196..0c2ceb6 100644 --- a/content/articles/arch-installation.md +++ b/content/articles/arch-installation.md @@ -184,7 +184,7 @@ bootctl install echo 'title Arch Linux linux /vmlinuz-linux initrd /initramfs-linux.img -options cryptdevice=/dev/disk/by-label/CRYPTO_ROOT:root root=/dev/mapper/root console=ttyS0 rw' > /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf +options cryptdevice=/dev/disk/by-label/CRYPTO_ROOT:root root=/dev/mapper/root rw' > /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf ``` The initial RAM filesystem (`initramfs`) is configured and created to ensure @@ -223,11 +223,11 @@ qemu-system-x86_64 \ -drive file=archlinux.qcow2,media=disk,if=virtio \ -smp cpus=4 \ -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly=on,file=/usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF_CODE.4m.fd \ - -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=OVMF_VARS.4m.fd \ - -nographic + -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=OVMF_VARS.4m.fd ``` -The username and password is based on this guide `root`. +The username and password is based on this guide `root`.
