The hook package install inside the pacstrap chroot may silently skip the initcpio install step under QEMU emulation, leaving the archiso hook absent from the initrd (confirmed: no 'running late hook [archiso]' in boot output despite UUID match on device). Explicitly copy /usr/lib/initcpio/hooks/archiso and install/archiso from the build host into the airootfs before mkarchiso runs mkinitcpio, so the hook is present regardless of how the chroot package install behaves.

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.
