Description of the issue

When running archinstall version 3.0.x on a serial console acquired with virsh console, nothing is shown in the output.
This worked on version 2.8.6

POC:

Create a VM with:

virt-install \
    --name archlinux \
    --vcpus 4 \
    --memory 4096 \
    --disk size=32 \
    --boot uefi,firmware=efi,firmware.feature0.name=secure-boot,firmware.feature0.enabled=no \
    --cdrom ~/.local/share/libvirt/images/archlinux-2024.11.01-x86_64.iso \
    --autoconsole text

Upon the VM start, press and append console=ttyS0 to the kernel params, then and let the arch iso boot.
When presented with the login screen, login as root. You can optionally resize the console size using stty rows 60 cols 200 that gives a little more space for things. When running archinstall version 2.8.6 that comes pre-bundled with archlinux-2024.11.01-x86_64.iso, tui shows, and everything functions properly. If you try to upgrade to latest 3.0.x version with pacman -Sy archinstall and run it again, nothing is shown.
