Raspberry Pi 2B+ no longer boots after latest kernel update

This impacts the Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W.

There will be no future updates to the repository but it has been mirrored so additional packages can be installed:

/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

OMG - I've been looking for an affordable IP based KVM for YEARS!  It seems every couple of years I search in vain but this year, I turned up a relatively new project based around a Raspberry Pi.  I've built up a couple of these now and they are fantastic!

Pi-KVM runs on Arch and when I was having issues getting NUT to work properly on Raspbian/Pi, I ended up installing Arch on the Pi as well and ultimately on my HP Envy x360 laptop.  Here are some links to various resources I used dealing with Arch in those contexts.
