The releng syslinux.cfg references UI .c32 modules that may not load, causing syslinux to fall back without archisolabel= in the kernel cmdline so the archiso initrd hook scans for an empty device label and sets root=''. - Write our own minimal syslinux.cfg using %INSTALL_DIR%/%ARCHISO_LABEL% placeholders; Dockerfile now only copies .c32 binaries from releng - Add squashfs and overlay to mkinitcpio MODULES explicitly - Remove microcode hook (no intel-ucode/amd-ucode packages installed) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
OrionOS ISO Builder
Two build paths are provided. Pick the one that matches your host.
Path A — Arch Linux host (native, recommended)
Requires archiso and pacman-contrib.
sudo pacman -S archiso
sudo make iso # runs iso/build-arch.sh
Path B — Debian / Ubuntu host
Requires xorriso, squashfs-tools, debootstrap, grub-pc-bin, grub-efi-amd64-bin.
sudo apt-get install -y xorriso squashfs-tools debootstrap \
grub-pc-bin grub-efi-amd64-bin mtools
sudo bash iso/build.sh
Output lands in iso/output/OrionOS-YYYYMMDD.iso.
Path C — Docker (any host with Docker)
make iso
The Dockerfile (iso/docker/Dockerfile) builds inside archlinux:latest,
compiles OrionOS, and runs mkarchiso. Output is written to iso/output/.
Writing the ISO to a USB drive
# Find your USB device (e.g. /dev/sdb) — be careful
lsblk
sudo dd if=iso/output/OrionOS-*.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync
Or use Ventoy — just copy the .iso onto the Ventoy USB.
First boot
