[Solved] Install Arch 64 on new hardware (Intel I7-860, P55, Nvidia 46

Hi,

I just installed new hardware in my computer and wanted to install Arch Linux  64Bit on it. I got through the installation as usual, no special configuration done here. Then I tryed to boot my computer into ArchLinux which fails as after GRUB I only see a black screen.

I tried many different screen resolutions so that's not the problem. I waited for at least 5min but the screen stays black.

This is my hardware setup:
- Asus P7P55D Pro (Intel P55 Extreme Chipset)
- Intel i7-860
- MSI N460 GTX Hawk
- 8GB DDR3 Ram

I honestly have no idea what could cause the problem. Something special regarding kernel version, os configuration that i missed? I appreciate your help.

Thanks,
aXyde

After I saw this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=111805 which described a similiar problem to mine I added "nomodeset" to the kernel command line and all is working fine.

Can you add '[SOLVED]' to the beginning of the thread-title?
