[SOLVED] Kernel Panic - not syncing. No working init found
TL;DR: Redownloading the iso fixed the problem
This appears on 2017.06.01 ISO and I cannot boot it. This is not the first time I install Arch on this machine. What's going on?

Is the system x86_64 capable?

x64, UEFI. Not the first time I install Arch there. It just won't boot

md5sum is ok?
Did you try the 2017.05.01 iso?
You could mount arch/x86_64/airootfs.sfs and see what's in there, notably a bin/init - and whether that's a symlink with a valid target.
Do you get any other errors before?

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel Panic - not syncing. No working init found
I'm almost positive it's an ISO/checksum issue. I wrote the ISO to USB again and this time it booted with lots of fs errors. Trying to install it failed. I checked the md5 sum and it matched. The flash drive seems ok: later I tried to install Antergos and Fedora on the same machine (and failed because of some distro specific issues). I would definitely try 2017.05.01. Will report later...
