I decided to do the installation on a tiny 4GB USB hard drive as I was worried about rewrites on an SD card and the drive was lying around. It seemed okay and I edited the /etc/fstab on the USB drive to tell it that /dev/sdc1 is root rather than /dev/mmcblk0p2. As you can see from the attached picture (I put a link to it under Website), the kernel still looks for /dev/mmcblk0p2. Do you know if there is any way of giving it a boot option to get it to look at the USB drive? Thanks again. :) Hi Jonimouse,

Thank you so much for all your work on this. I have been following the instructions in the wiki and am up to the point where I install the userland using the pacman.conf on the wiki page but when I try to execute the pacman command it complains that bauer.dnsdojo.com doesn't exist (I've checked and it doesn't). I tried adding http://jonimoose.net/archii/$repo to the list of servers under [[archii] in the pacman.conf but this doesn't work either. Do you have any ideas how I can get this working? Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I am a FreeBSD man and all this pacman stuff is new to me! Any help would be appreciated. :) Hi there!

If you have questions or are willing to update it yourself I can be found on IRC in #archlinuxppc on Freenode, #wiilinux on Efnet or #gc-linux on oftc.

The archii tutorial on archwiki was so old and now I find a prebuilt rootfs. Thank you so much. Please consider updating the ArchWiki tutorial though. I love you man.

Sadly the Arch Linux PPC project has kinda stagnated again due to it's lead developer having to take a hiatus. That said aside from udev spamming the logs it works, though don't expect package update anytime soon, then again you'd get the same form Debian. :P Well Arch Linux on the Wii has pretty much always been a hack since the kernel and drivers are not really updated much anyway.
