I updated the package to do this automatically. You should not require the above modification once the package hits your mirror. See 182b5bbd1c.

@steadybright
I don't want to break my system, though I need a 64-bit kernel and hardware support for the Rpi PoE-HAT fan, thus want to try the linux-raspberrypi4 kernel.

Is the package installation command to switch from kernel linux-aarch64 to kernel linux-raspberrypi4 similar to:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# pacman -Syyu linux-raspberrypi4 raspberrypi-firmware')
?

What was then answered to this question?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'looking for conflicting packages...
:: linux-raspberrypi4 and linux-aarch64 are in conflict (linux). Remove linux-aarch64? [y/N]')

@cj0,

Yes, that's the pacman command to run to install the linux-raspberrypi4 kernel.

Then, you must respond "yes" to replace the default kernel, since you need to choose one or the other.

If you choose "no," the default kernel will remain and installation of the linux-raspberrypi4 kernel will abort.

I'm also assuming you have the default aarch64 kernel installed presently and not the 32 bit version from the instruction page.

There's the possibility that you'll break your system, so backup whatever you need to before you swap the kernel.

Good luck!

After switching the kernel the PoE-HAT fan is now spinning.
