stuck at boot after installation

Yashka · 2014-01-21 06:22:25

Hi
I reinstalled the Arch linux with usb. I have UEFI motherboard. After installing the gummiboot and rebooting, the system promts me with three options

Arch Linux
EFI Default Loader
Reboot Into Firmware Interface

After choosing the first one, the system just stacks and nothing happends.
If I go to the firmware interface and choose to boot to usb and then arch-chroot i do get into the new system.

I tryid adding nomodeset at the end of the string,

initrd=\initramfs-linux.img ... rw

=>

initrd=\initramfs-linux.img ... rwnomodeset

, same resolt.

That's not how you use nomodeset. Read the wiki entry on KMS.

I added nomodeset to the the options line after the rw in the /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf.

options    root=PARTUUID=4b...8f rw nomodeset

I hope this is the right way. Didnt help, the system stuck and nothing happends.

What is your graphics card? Have you searched for "black screen at boot" and your card - this is a very common issue and is usually easily resolved.

I didnt yet installed any grafic driver, in the beginers duied it is done after the first reboot.
I have two cards on my laptop, intel and ati. Very bad idea. Usually i do what it sas here
hybrid but this time i didnt get there yet.

So, for the intel card, nomodeset is not going to work, is it? Read the KMS page again, and follow the instructions to the letter.

I don't know anything about hybrid graphics setups, other than to avoid them.

I know that to now.

I added the modules, radeon and i915, to the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. Then

# mkinitcpio -p linux

same thing, stuck.

Edit: Now I noticed that if i leave it stuck for 5 minutes, it returns to the promts screen.
