Re: Why isn’t booting?

Did you verify the iso file before writing to USB? How did you write the iso file to the USB?

macos: sudo dd if=./archlinux-2020.07.01-x86_64.iso of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m

Change pc or use a virtual machine,  it will work

Re: Why isn’t booting?

I have MacBookAir 2013 dual boot Arch/macOS11
I created Arch ISO by balena etcher. Arch is compatible with my mac I only needed to install broadcom drivers and pulseaudio.
I think yours is not that different.
Try to disable SIP in mac.

Maybe try older Arch ISO.
I was using Manjaro too however Arch suits my needs better. Arch is raw, no middle man, no other packages specific for the distro.

I downloaded it from the official website, The 2020.05.01 version can boot successfully!!
Maybe something wrong with the 2020.07.01 version

Thank you very much.

Re: Why isn’t booting?

@newsyue,

My hunch is that you will be able to boot into your current ISO in non graphical mode.

If that is the case, it is due to i915 Intel module issue. Long story short you will need kernel parameter of intel_iommu=on at boot since kernel 5.7.x which will likely be in that ISO (based on the timing of the introduction of that version of kernel). This boot parameter should allow you to boot into it (with graphics mode on). Related issue here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=256520
