acer_wmi preventing boot-up (dual-boot config w/ win 10)

I just installed arch with win 10 pre-installed on my HP envy series laptop. The install process went smooth. Installed grub on EFI. The boot order shows options for Windows boot manager and arch both. No issues selecting each to boot. However, after rebooting after after installation of arch I receive following message and the OS does not boot. I am assuming it is because the acer_wmi is causing problems. I installed mint and ubuntu in the past and had to kill/prevent/blacklist that module from loading in order to use wi-fi.

platform wdat_wdt: failed to claim resource 3
ACPI: watchdog: Device creation failed: -16
acpi MSFT0101:00: platform device creation failed: -16
starting version 232
Arch_linux: clean, ..... blocks
lis31v02d: unknown sensor type 0x0
acer_wmi: unsupported machine has AMW0_GUID1, unable to load

After the above code the cursor just keeps blinking and nothing happens
Please help resolve this issue. Thanks.

Blacklist the module from the GRUB menu:

Have you tried disabling kernel mode setting?

Re: acer_wmi preventing boot-up (dual-boot config w/ win 10)

I added parameter modprobe.blacklist=acer_wmi to kernel parameter line. I get the same message except that the acer_wmi line is not there any more but cursor keeps blinking after lif31v024 ... line

platform wdat_wdt: failed to claim resource 3
ACPI: watchdog: Device creation failed: -16
acpi MSFT0101:00: platform device creation failed: -16
starting version 232
Arch_linux: clean, ..... blocks
lis31v02d: unknown sensor type 0x0

I also want to add that during installation following packages were installed (if it helps):
wpa_supplicant, wireless_tools, networkmanager, plasma-nm, sddm, xterm, vim
Thereafter enabled wpa_supplicant.service, NetworkManager.service, sddm.

Following is the output with acpi=off parameter

starting version 232
arch_linux clean... blocks
genirq: flags mismatch irq 0. 00000 (intel_ish_ipc) vs. 00015a00 (timer)
intel_ish_ipc 0000:00:13.0: ISH request IRQ failure
intel_ish_ipc 0000:00:13.0: ISH PCI driver initialization failed
genirq: flags mismatch irq 0. 00000 (i801_smbus) vs. 00015a00 (timer)
i801_smbus failed to allocate irq 0: -16

Moreover with debug parameter the boot process stops at the following code:

IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp2s0 link is not ready
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): enp3s0 link is not ready
<some time>
Sent WATCHDOG=1 notification

The above code repeats itself without any specific order or time frame.
