Error: Preset not found: '/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset' [Solved]

Question

Hi
I tried to initial RAM disk with and got error message
[root@archiso /]# mkinitcpio -p linux
==> ERROR; Preset not found: '/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset'
And I found some answers but one said
ALARM doesn't use an uInitrd.
and another said I have to be install kernel26.
How I can solve this?

This is confusing given this report. Could you confirm exactly the prompt you have when you try to run the configuration commands such as mkinitcpio -p linux.
Because, as Trilby says, if you really have successfully installed base and base-devel and chrooted into the system, you should not be seeing these errors. Also, I am pretty sure that you should not have needed to verify the master key manually. When Arch first introduced signing, manual verification of keys was required but I am almost certain that is no longer the case. So something is almost certainly wrong at an earlier stage and you need to fix that, as Trilby says, before moving onto the next stage.
EDIT: "As Trilby says" should now read "as Trilby says again" - I'm too slow.
