Stuck on mkfs.ext4
The instructions on this page don't work for me. Whether I pick a fixed size or dynamically expanding VDHX drive, the installation is stuck indefinitely at mkfs.ext4. I'm using the 08/2016 ISO on Windows 8.1. All I found was some vague Ubuntu thread: [1] -- Alad (talk) 15:21, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

A ton of the stuff on this page seems to be wrong today. Greyltc (talk) 01:50, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

The install iso media won't boot with hyper-v when indirect branch tracking is on
Intel has commited a function called "indirect branch tracking" to the linux kernel which is not supported by hyper-v yet. You can't install archlinux with the latest iso without disabling it. Here is a workaround, when grub boots:
1. press e
2. add `ibt=off` to the kernel parameter like this: `linux ... ibt=off`
3. press ctrl+X
Then the install media would boot fine. You will also need to add `ibt=off` to the kernel parameter when installing the system.
