In continuing adventures of cat in Linux, I've been trying to install Arch Linux on my RPi 4. However, that fails to even boot, and what exactly happens depends on how I partitioned the SD card:

  • If I partition the SD card with fdisk, it just bootloops forever, not even getting into kernel init at all.
  • If I partition the SD card with KDE Partition Manager, it gets into kernel init, but still fails to initialise the SD card and stays stuck on that forever.
  • It doesn't seem to matter whether I make the root partition ext4 or btrfs.
  • It's not a problem with the SD card, because Raspbian runs on it just fine.
