MKINITCPIO give a error message

I'm having a trouble with a kernel image generation. After tthe command execution appears the following error message.

==> WARNING: errors were encountered during the build. The image may not be complete.[/quote]

And I don't know how I see what is the cause of this error.

You can run `mkinitcpio` with the `-v` flag (e.g., `mkinitcpio -v (VER)-rpi`). This increases the verbosity of output, possibly revealing more information during the build process.

...I have a new problem!

Same error here:

Ok, mkinicpio seems to force locale to C.UTF-8

So I have uncommented C.UTF-8 UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen and rerun locale-gen.

[1retfel]

Well... the problem with the locale was solved. But...

==> WARNING: architecture 'aarch64' not supported, skipping hook

[shyne]

Remove microcode hook from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

[1retfel]

It's worked. But why?
