Hello all,
As an experienced Unix/linux sysadmin i thought i'd try Arch Linux on an old recovered windows laptop ASUS K53S.
As all my linux boxes are preinstalled via pxe boot i decided to do the same.
A couple of tries resulted finally in a pxe boot. The kernel nicely nfs mounts the iso, loads everything in RAM ... however
when done it stops with the error
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mounting '/dev/loop0' to '/run/archiso/airootfs'
mount: /run/archiso/airootfs: fsconfig system call failed: unable to read xattr id index table.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
ERROR: failed to mount /dev/loop0
Falling back to interactive prompt
---------------------------------------------------------------------
dmesg says
loop: module loaded
loop0: detected capacity change from 0 to 1689448
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone have any idea?

according to its manual the device is uefi capable - so just enable uefi and provide the ipxe.efi bootstrap
also: as always the wiki is your friend
