I’m having a problem with 22.08 on a Pi 4B. Using a fresh install to an SD card (using either Rufus or RPi Imager), I get a Firmware not found error. This is with both the KDE and Minimal versions. Raspberry Pi OS boots fine. It does this on two different Pi 4s; one 8GB and the other 2GB.
I have a photo of the screen, but I can’t post it here.
Any ideas?
I am not set up to test ATM where I am living. He did not state at what boot stage he was getting the error. If at first boot missing or corrupt files in the boot partition. If later on then missing or corrupt files from the rpi firmware package.
This is immediate, before the “rainbow screen”. When I get video, the error has been presented; it’s in what the RPi docs call the second stage of the bootloader. The bootloader screen is looking for two files for the firmware; start.elf and fixup.dat, which are nowhere to be found on the installer.
If I copy start*.elf and fixup*.dat from my Raspberry Pi OS card (which works) to the Manjaro card, it shows the rainbow screen and hangs. (Version mismatch?) One time, I copied the entire RPiOS boot partition over, fixed the UUID for the designated root partition, and it got well into the boot sequence; hanging after a keyring error.
The stock Manjaro installer has 2 directories and 2 files:
Image (file, 24MB)
dtbs (dir)
extlinux (dir)
initramfs-linux.img (file, 7MB)
FYI, I run x86 Arch on my daily driver so I can figure out a bunch of stuff in a misbehaving system, but the RPi 4 boot system is voodoo to me.
What image are you using here?
Does not sound like it’s not the Raspberry Pi 4 images, but rather the Generic one.
Currently flashing a 22.08 rpi4 image to double-check the boot partition, as it’s been almost 2 months since the images was released and this is the first I hear about it.
UPDATE:
I flashed https://github.com/manjaro-arm/rpi4-images/releases/download/22.08/Manjaro-ARM-minimal-rpi4-22.08.img.xz to a card and here’s the contents of it’s /boot partition:

Ergo, the 22.08 Raspberry Pi images are fine.
I believe you have flashed a wrong image.
That would be the problem. I missed the device dropdown on the download page:
Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-generic-22.08.img.xz
That’s what I get for doing the download well past my bedtime…
Thanks a lot for the assistance. I knew there was a reason I recommend Manjaro to anyone using a Pi. 
If you’re old enough to remember Miss Emily Litella:
“Never mind…”
