The ISO was failing with "Failed to start Switch Root" because we were missing critical systemd configuration that the official archiso releng profile includes. Added to airootfs/etc: - systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/autologin.conf (official format) - systemd/system/pacman-init.service (initializes pacman keyring) - systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ symlinks for: - NetworkManager.service - iwd.service - sshd.service - pacman-init.service - hostname (archiso) - locale.conf (en_US.UTF-8) The autologin.conf now uses the official archiso format with proper agetty options: -o '-p -f -- \\u' --noclear --autologin root Removed dynamic file creation from build scripts since these configs are now properly stored in the repository.
