I have 2 Raspberry Pi 4 in my home as below.
1. Nextcloud server 2. WordPress server, samba server, virus scan server
This time I decided to install Arch Linux onto them.
– I like Arch Linux OS.
– My laptop is installed Endeavour OS which is one of Arch Linux flavor.
I tried to install Arch Linux 64bit but failed because kernel doesn’t start up.
I took note here to memorize for future chance.

The reason is I ran this "sed -i ..." command.
> You need to do this command when 64bit as described on this page.
This is another article which I succeeded to install Arch Linux 64bit onto Raspberry Pi 4.
What I did
I installed Arch Linux 64bit onto Raspberry Pi 4 following this page.
You will be able to install by following this section.
You need to do this command when 64bit as described on this page.
05/10/2023 As mentioned earlier, this "sed -i ..." doesn't need to be done on my environment. If you face similar problem, it may be valuable to skip this command.
I connected microSD to Raspberry Pi and turned on.
But,
There are so many error message like this.
I guess this is due to microSD related error.
error -5 whlist initialising SD card
I searched on Google and found similar situation.
This Youtuber mentions the same topic.
On comment there is hint which recommends to apply rpi-update.
– You know rpi-update is for updaring firmware of Raspberry Pi.
the arch kernel doesn't use the same one as rpi. plug the sdcard into another os, sudo mount /dev/sdbX root && sudo mount /dev/sdbX boot. then git clone rpi-update from hexxeh and run that on your mounted directories. the command will look like sudo ROOT_PATH=$HOME/root BOOT_PATH=$HOME/boot ./rpi-update. that's it, enjoy! ps. if you want 3d GPU acceleration too you'll need to flash grayskys kernel. goodluck :))
This is my result which looks good.
$ git clone https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update
$ cd rpi-update
$ sudo BOOT_PATH=$HOME/boot ROOT_PATH=$HOME/root ./rpi-update

'rpi-update' should only be used if there is a specific
reason to do so - for example, a request by a Raspberry Pi
engineer or if you want to help the testing effort
and are comfortable with restoring if there are regressions.
DO NOT use 'rpi-update' as part of a regular update process.

If I tried with /boot 200MB then below warning occurred so I would recommend to expand /boot as 256MB or larger.
Partition size 200M may not be sufficient for new Pi4 files This could result in a system that will not boot. 256M FAT partition is recommended. Ensure you have a backup if continuing. Would you like to proceed? (y/N)
I am advancing but still some errors.
And somehow microSD is mounted Read-Only.
Conclusion
How wat it?
I still continue to solve this problem!
