[solved] boot stuck "starting version 236"

i am fairly new to archlinux, systemd and efi so i might need a push into the correct way of troubleshooting this.

the only thing i did was switch around my graphic cards into different pcie slots. i have two cards: 1x nvidia, 1x amd

since then the boot process gets stuck on "starting version 236"

i cannot access any tty and the journalctl -b 0 is empty

any help is appreciated - if you need more info i will gladly provide it.


edit: adding "debug" to my kernel parameters showed that boot process hangs at some vfio error so i disabled iommu in the kernel parameters and i am able to boot into my system now - i marked this topic as solved

edit: i figured out the problem - having the nvidia card in the primary pcie slot just did not work - switching it back to the secondary slot and the system booted again with working vfio
