I may be switching over to Arch Linux from Trisquel Mini 8.0 Everything was going well with Trisquel Mini until it froze on configuring the avahi-daemon while doing System Updates. Did it twice so I'm about to wipe and start over. I can't have this happening. I think Arch is slightly less resource-intensive so it may be better anyway. I only have 1GB RAM in this thing. Intel loaded it to the breaking point with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit...the 3 years of updates it had to catch up alone killed any use of it.

Hello everyone,
I tried installing archlinux-2019.03.01-x86_64.iso onto my Intel Compute Stick STCK1A8LFC, but got this at the very beginning when I tried booting a USB stick created by Rufus.

I did not experience the lack of booting the USB stick with any other distros I tried (about 6-7 others). They all booted fine and were created in Rufus the same way.
BIOS setting is the same as others as well...UEFI shell disabled (that is a must), USB boot enabled, and Secure Boot disabled. There is no Legacy Boot/CSM option. Stuck on UEFI.
See picture attached for what happens when I try to boot from the USB stick I created.
Particulars...

Thanks for any help you can provide.
Steve Sybesma Brighton, CO USA Hi Steve,
Have you tried using a tool like dd or something equivalent to directly write the iso to the USB flash drive?
Taking a quick look at our wiki, it seems like Rufus can perform that task if it is configured correctly. The instructions are here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_flash_installation_media#Using_Rufu...
It seems that after clicking "START" on the screen in the screenshot you provided the software should prompt for a mode. Select "DD Image mode."
Kind regards,
I just installed Arch on a HP Probook laptop. I used Etcher using Manjaro. Works great.
