Disable the PC Speaker because I get annoyed at it beeping at me all the time.

* mkinitcpio

Enable the =amdgpu= module because I have an AMD video card.

#+begin_src conf-unix :noweb-ref mkinitcpio-modules
  MODULES=(amdgpu)
#+end_src

Set up the hooks loaded into the image. Use =mkinitcpio -H <MODULE>= to find out what a module does.

- =base= :: Crucial runtime necessities for booting. Should always be included.
- =udev= :: Adds the udev daemon to the initramfs to allow dynamic loading of modules and reliable detection of the root device via UUID.
- =autodetect= ::

#+begin_src conf-unix :noweb-ref mkinitcpio-hooks
  HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block keymap consolefont encrypt filesystems keyboard fsck)
#+end_src

#+begin_src conf-unix :noweb yes
  # vim:set ft=sh
  # MODULES
  # The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
  # run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
  # in this array.  For instance:
  #     MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
  <<mkinitcpio-modules>>

  # BINARIES
  # This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
  # wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
  # override the actual binaries included by a given hook
  # BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
  BINARIES=()

  # FILES
  # This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
  # as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
  FILES=()

  # HOOKS
  # This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
  # modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
  # Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
  # order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
  # help on a given hook.
  # 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
  # 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
  # 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
  # Examples:
  ##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
  ##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
  #    HOOKS=(base)
  #
  ##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
  ##   work as a sane default
  #    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
  #
  ##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
  ##   No autodetection is done.
  #    HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
  #
  ##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
  ##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
  #    HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
  #
  ##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
  #    HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
  #
  ##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
  #    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.

  # COMPRESSION
  # Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, zstd compression
  # is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
  #COMPRESSION="zstd"
  #COMPRESSION="gzip"
  #COMPRESSION="bzip2"
  #COMPRESSION="lzma"
  #COMPRESSION="xz"
  #COMPRESSION="lzop"
