I was able to boot this live distro, but, then when I went to run calamares it wouldn't install artix on the nvme and output the following mkinitcpio error:
Command <i>mkinitcpio</i> finished with exit code 1.

I don't think crc32c_intel is required by the kernel (6.15.6-artix1-1)? However, I was hoping that this module was being explicitly loaded by some configuration file in the live distro. But, I couldn't find it starting at /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset
I am hoping this is something trivial I can correct. I don't want to revert to the cli method if I don't have to, as I think I'm going to run into issues trying to install XLibre myself. Well, anyway, I'd appreciate your time reading this and any suggestions you may have. Thanks in any case..
I just installed it inside a VM without errors. What you describe would require a line like MODULES=(crc32c_intel) in mkinitcpio.conf, which however doesn't exist. Did you perform an encrypted installation?
Hello, this is my first time posting on the forum, and I have the same issue.
I, too, have the same problem. I tried installing it on the 4th-gen Intel platform if that makes any difference. No VMs or software trickery, just real hardware. I suspect Calamares detects the platform and loads the module. I also wonder if I can disable it entirely with a command in the config files, even though it's not listed anywhere in them.
Hey
@nous, are you able to install it on a similar platform on real hardware instead of a VM?
You should have mentioned this error only happens when BTRFS is chosen as target filesystem, I tested in bare metal, 4th gen i7 and works with EXT4. Our calamares fails to create bootable installations with BTRFS anyway and user intervention (i.e. live ISO chroot) is required.
Thanks man, I got it to work using EXT4! I installed it successfully, and I am now typing this message on my Dell Chromebook 11 3189.
