Whew! OK, thanks! All is well then. Steve On 2019-03-22 17:41, Khorne wrote:
Hi Steve,
that *is* the booted Arch ISO. There is no graphical installer (which you presumably expect).
Follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/installation_guide to continue from the shell prompt.

Hello Everyone,
I followed the instructions to use DD mode in Rufus and I got much further in the boot process than the first couple times I tried.
A few screens of info passed by...before it didn't even get halfway down the first screen of info. That's good progress in my book.
However it stopped at a shell prompt.
The picture I took is at this link:
I was going to use Trisquel Mini until I found out they have such an attitude about everything being free or non-free that they don't include many wifi drivers.
The driver in this Intel Compute Stick is 'virtualized' so that leaves me to wonder what drive is compatible.
The original Ubuntu bloated carcass that was on there was compatible hardware-wise, but of course their massive load of updates made the machine unusable.
Anyway, I'm a practical person so I hope you have better stock of drivers once I get over this issue with booting from USB.
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks a bunch!!!

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.
