Installation on Intel Compute Stick (STCK1A32WFCR)

Hello,

I've tried booting the Arch installer on an Intel Compute Stick with a normal dd-created USB flash installation medium.

I've seen reports that people have managed to install Arch on this model of Compute Stick (using http://archibold.io/), but I've not been able to find any details on how to create the installation medium.

Does anyone have any pointers?

It would help if you could be specific as to where which problem occurs exactly. Eg USB stick ignored, or bootloader error, or ...

At first I had the wrong BIOS setting, which made it ignore the USB stick.

After this, it gets to the Arch installer boot menu, but there it appears to hang. This is with the normal 'dual' installer, so I assumed it would work even though this is an Intel Atom computer.

I'll make sure not to ask any questions about it. This is so far only about getting the standard Arch installer image to boot.

I'm not planning to use Archibold, I only provided the link because it was my clue that someone has managed to install Arch on this model computer before.
