Question: Does Manjaro ARM installer support Raspberry Pi-5? The script did its work but the boot partition on the SD card is empty other than just the cmdline.txt and config.txt files. When i try to boot, RPI tells me that the OS on the sd card is not compatible with RPI-5. When i put in “os_check=0” it still doesn’t boot. I do believe it wouldn’t boot with an empty boot partition. Something is wrong here.
Yes - I have done it many times.
Did you select the rpi4 profile in the device selection screen?

An important note when running script on non-arm system (I am thinking of making it part of script) - you must ensure you restart the systemd-binfmt service before running the script.
sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt
It is Debian that i am running the script within. I selected the correct profile. I will try restarting that service. But why do we do it?
Because the documentation says so - and because I know from experience it is required 
manjaro-arm / applications / manjaro-arm-installer · GitLab
– manjaro-arm / applications / manjaro-arm-installer · GitLab
Also see the Other notes at then end of the document.
I can’t say why are having issues - I created a sd-card using the script earlier today - so I know it is working.
To use this script, please make sure that the following is correct:
- An SD/eMMC card or USB stick with at least 8 GB storage is plugged in, but not mounted. This Script will remove everything on it.
- That your user account has
sudorights.- That you have rebooted or restarted the binfmt service with
sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmtif you are running the script from any other architecture thanaarch64.
I am on aarch64. I think the problem was that the sd card was full and partitions were mounted from it.
That is a valid reason for failing.
Yeah it worked. However, the packages in the “stable” version are quite old. I was expecting at least KDE Plasma 6 but it is still 5.27. I am assuming that is mostly because the repositories are alligned with the arch arm repos and arch arm isn’t really getting much love from the community. Yeah, it is a double edged knife, either go with the “unstable” manjaro or stay with debian in my case.
thx for letting me know.
