Arch is an OS option on Pogoplug??

I just did a swift search of the forums after catching this on Lifehacker. (It's a couple days old, I was catching up after the weekend.)
Lifehacker Article
About half way through it, I noticed the update command... pacman! Am I just late to the party, or did PogoPlug port Arch?

SSH back in again, because there are a few more things we'll want to do. First, update your Plugbox's packages:
pacman -Syu
You may need to run this a couple of times because pacman, itself, may need an update. Once pacman's done, you'll want to do a couple of other things.

There is a topic around on Arch on ARM. Someone ported Arch to ARM, not just pacman .

urist already mentioned that link :-)

  • Will arch include conservative server options ever?

    Hey,
      I have been using arch for a while now on my desktop and its great.  Easy to use, up to date packages...wonderful.  But lately I have tried to use arch as my server as I grow tired of my existing one but I keep having issues with the server packages being too new.
      For example of LOT of php scripts requires php4.x because they simply didn't code them to be php5 compatible.  Plus I know a lot of people who simply won't trust something on a server till Its been proven stable for a while.  To a lesser degree this can happen with apache (as only 2 is offered by some things still require apache1) and mysql. 
      My hope in all my rambling is that arch one day as it matures will perhaps run 2 branches on some important servers so people can decide to install for example php (php5.x) or php4.  I have seen this in a couple other distros and while I don't se the need to start trying to do everything this way, a couple major servers would be nice to be able to choose between versions, especially when the version number can be crucial to running some programs.
      Any thoughts or comments here?  Am I crazy, is this simply not arch's focus, or is this just too much too soon but something other people out there experience?

    sigh... yet another who doesn't read the "about" pages... I'll paraphrase
    me wrote:...this distro was created by Judd to satisfy *his* needs... it's for him and he doesn't give a crap if other people like it... it's perfect for him...
    Another nice little fact is that, if you're competent, you can run a server on anything you want... if you don't know what's going on, then use RH, because you can get support...
    I'll wager that there are at least 10-20 people on this board who can take a "enterprise" grade server... RH, Debian, Arch, whatever... that has just had some big major crash, and get it up and going in under half an hour...
    Companies need to stop hiring the mediocre... I'm tired of having to carry extra weight because the other jokers I work with are just ordinary.... you want a good, reliable server? Hire someone who knows their crap and stop trying to find something that will do it for you...

  • Alternative options for running flash-based software on x86_64 systems

    As per the new droppage of the flashplugin for 64bit Arch, what should us 64bitters do?
    What are these "alternative options" mentioned in the Arch news?

    Alternative options to do what? What did you use Flash for?
    I often say there are three ways Flash is used on the Internet:
    Showing advertisements (I assume you don't want to get those working again)
    Video games
    Showing video
    (did I miss anything?)
    What are you trying to do?
    EDIT: Also, I think there have been many threads on this topic. The general solution was to use 32 bit Flash in 64 bit Arch. As for me, I just stopped using Flash.

  • Arch (or Linux) and hardware...

    Hi all,
    Where's a good place to learn about how linux interacts with hardware?
    I want to switch to Arch from Fedora, but I know that I'll get stuck when it comes to stuff like lsmod, modprobe, udev, dev-fs and other such hardware proggies/concepts.
    My knowledge in that area's virtually zilch.  So far I've stuck with Fedora coz it's the only distro that's managed to recognise my (on-board) soundcard and (on-board) network adapter.  Now, I wanna get my hands dirty :-)

    Short summary kind of thing:
    -- Modules --
    modprobe <module>
    finds the module and calls insmod to load the module. In general you never have to call insmod yourself but can just use modprobe. It's config file is /etc/modprobe.conf, there you can add aliasses (more on that later) and module options.
    lsmod
    lists all loaded modules.
    modinfo <module>
    gives some info about a module.
    Now's the kernel support autoloading of modules, meaning that if the kernel knows what it needs it calls modprobe to load it. Sometimes it doesn't know the exact module, but only other info, an alias. Then it calls modprobe with the alias and if it can be resolved with modprobe.conf the correct module is loaded.
    Autoloading happens more or less only for modules which are loaded when needed. In general that means only modules which are needed by another (already or yet to be loaded) module. Good examples are the netfilter/iptables modules which are loaded when they're needed for certain iptable rules (e.g. ip_conntrack, iptable_nat).
    -- Hotplug --
    Another, kind of autoloading implemented is hotplug. When the kernel detects new hardware, it spits out a hotplug event by calling /sbin/hotplug and giving it enough info so that it can find the correct module needed for that hardware.
    So if you plug in a usb stick hotplug kicks in and loads the appropriate modules. The user space hotplug program (just a shellscript now, but that is changing) also calls any user scripts, filtered by type of event. That gives the opportunity to for instance mount the usb stick automatically somewhere.
    This is all nice and well, but most hardware is there at startup and doesn't generate a hotplug event. So to detect all already present hardware you can execute the hotplug coldplug script to scan /sys for all hardware and load all needed modules. In arch you do this by adding hotplug to DAEMONS in rc.conf.
    Of course you don't have to use hotplug, but if you want everything to "just work" then you'll probably use it. That's what most distros do. In Arch it's an option. If you know all the hardware you're going to use beforehand then you can simply add it to MODULES in rc.conf and don't have hotplug installed. You can also have hotplug installed but not run the coldplug script at startup so that if you later on plug something in it will be detected. Or you can let hotplug load almost all modules needed and leave your MODULES more or less empty.
    -- /dev --
    A device file is a special kind of file (like pipes/sockets/symlinks are kind of files), with the only properties that it has a major number, a minor number, and a name. It also can be a character device or a block device. A character device is anything where you read or write a stream of data, like /dev/null or /dev/mouse. A block device is anything with a given size where you can randomly read from, like /dev/hda, /dev/fb0 (framebuffer device). Everything you do on a device file is handled by the driver which handles the device with that major/minor number pair. Such driver is often compiled as a module.
    The modules are automatically loaded, but one thing is missing: The device files in /dev. Simplest is to just add all possible device files to /dev. Although this sort of works, it's ugly and not a long term solution as devices get more and more random major/minor numbers. Nice that the device file is there already when you plugged in your usb stick, but which one from the hundreds is it?
    The first solution to this was devfs. It's in the kernel with a userspace devfsd daemon helping it to automatically created the /dev files when needed, thus only making the files which are needed. Now /dev hadn't that awfully many files anymore, and it was simpler to find things.
    Devfs had some problems though, mostly in the way it was implemented.  Although in practice it worked fine most of the time, internally it wasn't pretty and many kernel developers weren't happy with it. Though when the original maintainer sort of disappeared leaving it unmaintained and no one else stepped up, it became obsolete, as udev was there almost.
    With the 2.6 kernel came /sys, a virtual filesystem which provides a lot of hardware info. This together with hotplug gives enough information to know what device file to make, if any, when a module is loaded. That's what udev does: making the needed device files with the help of hotplug and /sys.
    The main reason why udev was made is to have a consistent /dev, that is, if you plug in your usb stick in port 1 it will come up like e.g. /dev/usbstick, but also if you stick it in another usb port. That is something devfs couldn't do. The next little step was to make udev so that it can replace devfs altogether and handle all device files.
    As udev is totally in userspace, while devfs was unmaintained in the kernel, being a slight burden there, it was no surprise they made devfs obsolete and deemed udev it's successor. The topic udev versus devfs is politically touchy, as they're different and do things differently, not to mention that devfs was obsoleted before udev was ready for primetime (not all drivers supported /sys and hotplug yet, and udev only supports those).
    Devfs brought with it also another naming scheme for /dev. Historically there were more or less no directories in /dev and all files were just dumped into /dev. Devfs made a very hierarchical structure, with files as /udev/discs/disc0/part1 instead of /dev/hda1. Some love it, some hate it. Personally I think there should be no more than one depth of subdirs, something like /dev/hda/1. With the default udev config file of Arch you get the same naming as you would get with devfs, as that was one of the main points of udev: letting the user choose the device names. With devfs + a daemon you could only choose to make symlinks.
    If you know beforehand what hardware you have, and don't plug in all kind of things like usb sticks or cameras then you can use a static /dev with only the files you need. That's what I use. I also let udev handle my /udev dir, to see how well it works.
    Hopefully things became more instead of less clear now. ;-)

    I can't help with this, but have an interesting observation.  I was very happy today, when I installed OpenSUSE 12.2 rc to one of my partitions and let it install grub2 to the MBR, that it not only located all of my Archlinux and Gentoo partions, on sda, sdb and sdc (OpenSUSE was going on sdd), but it found every kernel listed in the grub-legacy menu.lst files of each partition.  It actually gives me a very nice grub boot menu that lists, e.g.
    OpenSUSE
    Arch Stable
    Arch Stable options
    Arch Work in Progress
    Arch Work in Progress options
    Gentoo
    Gentoo options
    so that I can choose "Arch Stable options" and see ALL of the menu.lst entries from my Arch Stable partition on sda2, with entries for the -ARCH kernel, the -lqx kernel and the -ck kernel, or ALL of the menu.lst entries from my Arch Work in Progress on sdb1, etc.
    It is definitely the thing I most liked about OpenSUSE
    Question: why do different distro's grub2 install find, or fail to find, all of the linux partitions, and why does OpenSUSE manage to give such nice access to every kernel on every linux partition?  Do they have different grub-install scripts?  If so, can we get the OpenSUSE scripts into the Archlinux grub package?

  • Good practices of running an Arch server

    Hi,
    I mean, how to make it run as uneventfully as possible? As a desktop user I make full system upgrades without a second thought; I know, that the penalty is going to be affordable, but a server is another cup of tea. With Debian stable, for instance, it's obvious: no uprgades at all, just security updates trickling. On the other hand, with rolling release distributions the security updates are intergated into the flow; refusing to upgrade I'm actually refusing the security upgrades too. Or so I think in my ignorance .
    Any suggestions?

    I've ran several websites on Arch servers for over 2 years now..... only issue i had was forgetting to issue a /sbin/lilo command after a kernel update.    (yes....that system had/has lilo not grub).   I personally love using Arch as a server OS.  I am however able to sustain the occasional reboot to install the new kernels without any problems, I don't have to have 5 year uptimes   I usually update my servers at night, so any downtime isn't noticed much from my users. (It's usually only about 2 minutes anyway........). 
    On a side note, I usually update my desktop machines and THEN my servers ......... in case something breaks, it's my desktop that's affected not my server. I always leave the packages on the server so I can revert back to a previous version, of say php/mysql etc.....  I also make regular backups of the /etc/ dir so I have copies of all my config files in case something goes bonkers....  not that it ever has
    Some of the Devs might say NOT to use Arch as a server, but I personally think they are just being cautious for your sake....... I think it makes a GREAT server OS.  The folks over at slicehost.com even have Arch as an OS option now ... so it's more than just ME using it as a server OS.
    I'm currently at VPSLink.com and they too offer Arch. I think it's great.

  • Dual Booting Mac OS X and Arch, rEFInd fails to open initrd file

    I gave up on trying to solo boot Arch on a MacBook(1,1), and I'm dual booting. I have Arch installed on its own partition, and rEFInd is installed and configured through Mac OS X. I followed the wiki's instructions on moving the initramfs files and creating refind_linux.conf in Arch's folder on the EFI partition, and when I reboot, Arch appears as a boot option! This is good news! However, when I select it, the following happens:
    rEFInd - Booting OS
    Starting vmlinuz-arch.efi
    Using load options 'root=/dev/sda4 ro rootfstype=ext4 systemd.unit=multi-user.target initrd=\EFI\arch\initramfs-arch.img'
    Failed to open initrd file: EFI\arch\initramfs-img
    My question is, do I need to install refind-efi on the Arch partition, even though I've installed rEFInd on Mac OS X?
    Also, do I need to install GRUB in Arch, even though I've [attempted to] used EFISTUB to link rEFInd with Arch?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I got 32-bit UEFI to work on my macbook, and I found it to be rather straight forward.  But 32-bit UEFI is not incredibly common, and I wanted to have a 64-bit system so that I could potentially chroot into my other computer's disk if necessary.  So that is why I ended up using bios compatibility on my macbook.
    Edit: Oh yeah, and yes, using MBR only is also another way in which you can use bios compatibility mode.  Basically you just need to have a MBR with more than one protective partition, and I think you need to have one partition marked as bootable in the MBR.  It has been a while since I got all that macbook stuff working though, so the info is a bit stale in my head.

  • [SOLVED] MacbookPro 8,1 13" - Dual boot with Mac OS X #rEFIt

    Hi everyone, I want to share my experience and request for help regarding my attempt to install Arch on my MBP 8,1. I can't count the times I've tried to install it this week.
    What have I done?
    So I followed the Beginner's Guide to aid me in the installation, with some exceptions:
    * I used Linux Mint 14 to use GParted. The reason I used it is because rEFIt won't sync the GPT and MBR tables properly when I try and use `mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdaX` inside the Archiso. With Archiso, the filesystem types are considered to be "Unknown" (#wtf no. 1), whereas with Mint that doesn't happen.
    * In fstab I had something like:
    # /dev/sda4
    UUID=c35d9121-a3f1-4cd6-ab53-61fe0f474eee / ext4 rw,noatime 0 1
    # /dev/sda5
    UUID=390185f6-6d55-430c-a9ba-d3d0b4c7798b /home ext4 rw,relatime,codepage=437 0 2
    The wiki mentioned the noatime and codepage flags for the respective partitions and so I complied.
    One thing to notice is I have no /boot mount because syslinux apparently doesn't like that.
    * Installing syslinux (along with gptfdisk), I issued:
    syslinux-install_update -iam
    , and reviewed /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg like this:
    LABEL arch
    MENU LABEL Arch Linux
    LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux
    ----APPEND root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/c35d9121-a3f1-4cd6-ab53-61fe0f474eee ro----
    APPEND root=/dev/disk/by-partuuid/c35d9121-a3f1-4cd6-ab53-61fe0f474eee ro **still doesn't work, it's not found**
    INITRD ../initramfs-linux.img
    LABEL archfallback
    MENU LABEL Arch Linux Fallback
    LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux
    ----APPEND root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/c35bod9121-a3f1-4cd6-ab53-61fe0f474eee ro----
    APPEND root=/dev/disk/by-partuuid/c35d9121-a3f1-4cd6-ab53-61fe0f474eee ro **still doesn't work, it's not found**
    INITRD ../initramfs-linux-fallback.img
    I used UUID's to avoid the mess on sdaX discrepancies.
    Results
    * rEFIt correctly shows Arch as a boot option. It boots correctly to Syslinux.
    * The kernel load fails due to something like:
    Unknown filesystem 'vfat'
    ... and/or ...
    Waiting 10 seconds for /dev/sdaX ...
    This stroke me as #wtf no.2. VFAT?? Has anyone experienced this before?
    For now this is all I have. I was hoping the community could give me helpful pointers on solving this as I intend to contribute with documentation on this setup in the wiki.
    I'll be updating this post with newer information. Thanks for helping!

    I don't have much experience with SYSLINUX or booting a Mac in BIOS mode, but I can help answer a couple of your questions and offer some alternative approaches....

    This issue is a limitation of the "gptsync" program that's included with rEFIt, not with rEFIt itself. It's also not caused by mkfs; gptsync doesn't even look inside the partitions, AFAIK. Instead, it looks at partition type codes. It understands just a few of them, including the one that all but the very latest versions of libparted use on Linux filesystem partitions. The trouble is that the libparted developers long ago "borrowed" that code from Windows, but they shouldn't have done so. That's being corrected, and gdisk can use the correct code for Linux ("8300" in gdisk). In the future, libparted will use this code, too; the support is already present but isn't yet widely distributed. You could have set the type code to "0700" in gdisk from Arch and gptsync would have worked.
    You may be interested to know that gdisk can do the same job that gptsync does, and gdisk can do so much more flexibly. You can read more in the gdisk hybrid MBR documentation. Be aware that hybrid MBRs (which is what gptsync creates) are ugly and dangerous hacks. Sadly, they're necessary to dual-boot Windows and OS X on Macs, but you may be able to dual-boot OS X and Linux without a hybrid MBR. The trick here is to install an EFI boot loader for Linux rather than a BIOS boot loader for Linux. Macs use EFI natively, so this is the superior way to get started, at least theoretically.
    The Arch wiki has a number of pages on EFI issues, such as:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … _Interface
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI_Bootloaders
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB_EFI_Examples
    The main problem with booting a Mac in EFI mode is that some systems won't activate all their hardware in this way, so with some models you can end up with a network adapter or video display or sound that doesn't work. Other models are fine, though; you'll just have to give it a try and see if it works.
    Personally, I think the best way to do it is to use the kernel's EFI stub loader in conjunction with an EFI boot manager like rEFInd or gummiboot. Both are available as Arch packages, but it's better to install from OS X, and that process is much better documented for rEFInd than for gummiboot (although you could adapt the rEFInd documentation for gummiboot, if you liked). rEFIt can work, too, but only if the kernel includes built-in command-line options and is renamed with a ".efi" extension. These are awkward requirements, and since rEFInd is a continuation of rEFIt development, there's not much point in trying to get rEFIt to do the job.

  • Best Way to Configure Multi-boot System With GRUB/GRUB2

    Hello again,
    Sorry for posting so much, but I'm really enjoying Arch so far! I had been reading a lot about Cinnamon so I wanted to try it (without installing the dependencies on my Arch installation), so I decided to install Mint, that went fine, and then I was hoping to add the entry to GRUB. I couldn't figure out how to do this, so I decided to try and install GRUB2 because it can autodetect other OS'. Well it didn't work and then I found myself without a bootloader. I couldn't figure out how to reinstall grub to the MBR (I tried the solution in the wiki and a couple of other places). I decided to reinstall Mint, and now I am booting into Arch through Mint's GRUB2. Two questions:
    1) How can I fix grub through Arch to have that as my bootloader again? Nothing seems to work that I've tried.
    2) What is the best way to configure grub or grub2 from Arch to allow myself options to multiboot other OS's in the future? I want to learn as much about UNIX as possible so I was planning on installing some other Linux distros and some other non-Linux UNIX OS's. I know this is a really newbie question, but I'm at a loss, I thought it was easier than it turned out.
    PS. I didn't really like Cinnamon that much. I've been using Xfce and Openbox since I started using Linux (about a month ago), and it just seems too complicated! I don't like how little options you are given for customization. But that's just my opinion, everyone is different, I can see how it would be an improvement over GNOME3.
    Thank You!

    I have Arch Linux and Debian Testing installed side by side on my laptop.
    Arch uses Grub (legacy) and Debian uses Grub2. The way I have set it up is to have Arch's Grub on the MBR and then chainload Debian's Grub2 from there.
    Debian's Grub2 is installed on its own partition rather than on the MBR
    This is the line I use to chainload Grub2 from Grub (legacy)
    # (4) Debian chainload
    title Debian chainload
    root (hdX,X)
    chainloader +1
    Additionally just for kicks, I also have an entry in Grub2 to get back to Grub.
    menuentry "Arch Linux chainload" {
    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ext2
    set root='(hd0)'
    chainloader +1
    boot
    Note that the (hd0) above always points to the MBR.
    I do not have to bother with one bootloader interfering with the other and the OS entries on each are handled separately on their own.
    This setup has worked well for me for quite a while now. Before I started with Arch, I used a similar setup when I tried out various distros (Fedora,opensuse,etc.) alongside Ubuntu
    Hope it helps !

  • Pacman not updating

    Hi everyone,
    I have had arch on my laptop for a while now, 3 months i think, and two days on my desktop pc. For some reason I can not update either. It just said that there is nothing to do.
    I tried loads of things like just doing
    pacman -Syy
    and changing the mirrorlist so random mirrors are at the top.
    The only difference is that when running pacman -Syu on my laptop, it updates the repos and then says that there is nothing to do rather than on the desktop it says that repos are up to date. Here is my pacman.conf, it is the same on both systems:
    # /etc/pacman.conf
    # See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

    None of the mirrors give me all updates.
    It gives me a few, but not all, updates with certain mirrors.
    Thanks in advance.

  • [solved] QT with QT_NO_STL?

    Hello ARCH people.
    I lately experienced a problem converting from std::string to QString compiling QT Applications. The following error i get:
    error: conversion from `std::string' to non-scalar type `QString' requested
    By searching google and reading a bit, i've found out that this problem seems to occur if QT_NO_STL is used as a compile option to QT.
    Is there any specific reason why ARCH has set the option QT_NO_STL? Is it set, or am i wrong in this case?
    I've never had this problem in any other distribution, so i'm asking you here for advice. Of course, i'd like if i dont have to recompile QT completely.
    TIA,
    STi

    phrakture wrote:c++ exceptions are poor for performance.
    No, you are wrong. How often do you throw exceptions? They are slower than error codes when they do occur, but faster when they don't occur (because you don't check for them with an "if"). So in average they are FASTER.
    Enabling the exceptions doesn't mean it removes the use of throw and catch, it just means that Qt doesn't throw errors... you can still:
    QString blah("some string");
    throw std::exception(blah.latin1());
    if you want to.... disabling the exception is only in the Qt library...
    No, you are wrong. If you disable exceptions when compiling Qt, this means that you can't reliably throw an exception from a slot (a signal handler). If you do throw, then Qt's destructors won't be called when unwinding happens -> crash.
    You will be able to use exceptions provided they don't go through Qt's code. This is restricting, actually. You can't say it's not an issue.
    because you are assuming that enabling stl is 100% good with no downsides....
    I can't see the downside. Enabling stl means anabling just a few additional functions in Qt, this is not bloat. Afterall, enabling stl doesn't cause any additional runtime dependency, because STL is contained in headers and you have to link to libc++ no matter what options you specify.
    I am not claiming to be educated in it either, it's just that I trust the judgement calls made on these packages seeing as they work with no real hiccups....
    I guess you don't develop in C++, so you should listen when somebody with greater knowledge on this subject tries to teach you something.
    personally I hate c++ exceptions.... yes it's easy to use a try/catch block... but it just seems lazy to me.  It's personal preference.
    Have you read Herb Sutter's "Exceptional C++?" Writing good exception-enabled code is actually a lot of additional work. But it usually leads to better, much more reliable code.
    On another note, you were not "Just asking why Arch disables exceptions and stl in case of Qt?"....

    A much better course of action would have been "hey why is this done?" and await a response.... but the immediate calls for mutiny made me balk.
    I agree here. I shouldn't talk this way. It's just the people who try to pretend they are more knowledgable than they really are who drive me crazy.
    I understand it's your preference not to use exceptions. But it doesa lot of harm to disable exceptions when compiling libraries for people who want to use exceptions.

    In my opinion, the key thing open source has going for it is this sort of "anyone can contribute" thing.  It's the exact opposite of the way us american's are taught to believe... here it's compitition that drives someone to make a good product better, it is not done for the sake of doing it.  OSS is very existensialist in a way.... now this is great, and I love the fact that someone like me could send a minor patch to linus, or kieth packard, or someone and have it accepted into code that millions of people use.  A big problem errupts when "hey here's something you did wrong, I fixed it" turns to "everything you do is wrong, I'm forking your project"... that's the attitude I get from this thread.... not an email to the maintainer or anything, but a flat out cry for a replacement....
    If you want something to strive, help it, don't beat it down... you water your plants when they begin wilt, you don't chuck them in the trash and buy a cactus....
    I agree completely. But I'm sure I'm not the only one responsible for the attitude you get from this thread.

  • [Solved] Gummiboot fails to load Initramfs

    I installed Arch on two partitions, one encrypted with LVM on LUKS
    (sda2) and a separate /boot partition (sda1). I use gummiboot as my bootloader.
    The gummiboot entry which loads the initramfs looks as follows:
    title Arch linux
    efi \EFI\arch\vmlinuz-linux.efi
    options initrd=\EFI\arch\initramfs-linux.img cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:vgroup root=/dev/mapper/vgroup-root rw acpi_backlight=vendor
    After each kernel update (i.e. rebuilding the initramfs) I manually copy
    the images to where the loader entries point.
    cp /boot/initramfs-linux.img /boot/EFI/arch/
    cp /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img /boot/EFI/arch/
    cp /boot/vmlinuz-linux /boot/EFI/arch/
    cp /boot/vmlinuz-linux /boot/EFI/arch/vmlinuz-linux.efi
    (Actually I'm not sure if I need the .efi extension on vimlinuz-linux,
    so I copy them both...)
    When this Laptop boots, it shows the gummiboot loader and I select the
    "Arch Linux" entry. With the last kernel update, when I hit the "Arch
    Linux" boot entry, the screen goes black for some seconds, then the
    whole screen gets pixelated with some colorful static noise.
    It looks like the initramfs is corrupted/not found, so chrooted into my
    system from the live installer and reinstalled the kernel, mkinitcpio
    and gummiboot ('linux' 3.12.7-2, 'gummiboot' 41-1, 'mkinitcpio' 16-2).
    I also re-ran
    gummiboot install
    Still, the system refuses to boot.
    Since I get no error output at all, I can't provide much more debug
    information. I am aware of a rather large number of threads but in
    virtually all of those cases the boot process crashes with some helpful
    error messages...
    Anyone got some helpful hint? It looks like I am missing something
    obvious.

    By the way, why are you copying your bootimages manually? Your folders seem odd to me, but maybe thats just a lack of information on my side.
    An loader entry on my box looks like this:
    root@x230 /boot/loader/entries # cat arch.conf
    title Arch Linux
    linux /vmlinuz-linux
    initrd /initramfs-linux.img
    options root=/dev/sda2 quiet rw init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd add_efi.memmap acpi_osi="!Windows 2012"
    The .img files are simply in /boot where mkinitcpio puts them after the kernel update.
