I was skeptical when I saw this bug as I assumed obarun is close to arch. Turns out I was wrong. I've tried booting obarun 5.1 with a usb 3.0 from using unetbootin, and I too got a kernel panic, but this case I can provide the boot errors,
eric wroteif the crash occurs when the kernel boot (before the first hook) you need to copy by hands :(
It *does* happen at kernel boot and does *not* provide a shell.
eric wroteHave you the same problem with official arch iso?
Yes, The arch (2016.01.01) kernel works *and* provides a shell. But had a different minor PEBKAC issue [0] for not reading the wiki XD
eric wroteyou can try if you want the previous iso version v5.0
Haven't attempted... yet.
So, anyway the boot errors..
