System fails to boot because of ACPI errors

I've installed Arch Linux on an Asus K50IJ alongside Windows 10. I did nothing special except installing wayland, gnome and gnome-extra. After booting Windows again Arch Linux failed to start. I'm getting the following errors:

starting version 232
/dev/sda3: celan, 176981/9355264 files, 5264233/37403734 blocks

Re: System fails to boot because of ACPI errors

I think the ACPI errors are a Red Herring

First, are you sure it is not booting?  What is the indication?  What happens if you press Ctrl-Alt--F2
In windows, do you have fast boot disabled?  If not, Windows may have used your Linux partition as a connivent place to dump its state. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Du … t_Start-Up

Re: System fails to boot because of ACPI errors

Damnit, that must be it. I can reach tty2 but it takes a long time and I can't really do something useful when logged it. The system reacts pretty slowly. Is there a way to fix the partition?
