[SOLVED] Can't boot installation image on Macbook Pro 11,3

I'm trying to install Arch on Macbook Pro 11,3

I used the last iso https://www.archlinux.org/releng/releases/2020.08.01/ and it fails booting almost at the start with:

:: Triggering uevents...
bcma: Unsupported SPROM revision: 11
bcma-pci-bridge 0000:02:00.0: bus0: No SPROM available

I created iso with a custom profile based off releng where airootfs/etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-wl.conf is deleted, the content of this file is:

# The broadcom-wl package requires some modules to be disabled in order to use
# wl. Since the ISO image needs to cover many hardware cases, this file
# overrides the default blacklist in /usr/lib/modprobe.d/
#
# If you need to use wl, you may need to delete this file, then `rmmod` any
# already-loaded modules that are now blacklisted before proceeding to modprobe
# wl itself.

with the same result.

I also tried creating /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf with:

blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist ssb
blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmfmac
blacklist brcmsmac
blacklist bcma

which is identical to the file from broadcom-wl package

I'm still getting this error, any suggestions please?
