[SOLVED] Error after downloading airootfs.md5 during startup of iPXE

Hi,

I wanted to reinstall the system, but my laptop for unknown reasons only supports installations by iPXE (network) so every time I just needed it installed already so but today when running the downloaded airootfs.sfs error appeared:

ERROR: checksum=y option specified but /arch/x86_64/airootfs.md5 not found.
sh: can't acces tty; job control turned off

Are you using ArchISO?

I using Arch Linux Netboot Live System ( iPXE ) because default ISO doesn't work on my laptop.

Is this your only Arch installation? You can do the Diskless boot. It can take the packages you already have in your existing installation and use them to make a running installation in a different root. You basically have another installation of Arch, change a few lines in mkinitcpio for your kernel, set up the nfs, dhcp, tftp, and it constantly stays updated alongside your normal installation. Then you can install from your laptop from there. The netboot live system works similarly except you keep having to redownload the entire thing from the internet each time it fails.

Be sure to mark as solved.

How did you solve the problem exactly? It's still persistent and I cant change anything at boot menu.
E: found it. For some reason Ctrl+c wasn't working the first time
