• mkinitcpio

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

  blacklist pcspkr

mkinitcpio

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

  MODULES=(amdgpu)

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

  HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block keymap consolefont encrypt filesystems keyboard fsck)

  # 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.

  # Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, zstd compression
  # is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
