Kernel Panic after pacstrap ~ Thinkpad T440p

Hello,

I just bought a T440p, and after trying to install arch, I got a Kernel Panic, I think so at least.
I tried the install a few time, but to no avail. I did some research and didn't find a solution.

Just after the installation of the base packages, the error pop up.

I don't believe I'm doing something wrong with the installation but maybe I am, and I know the T440p can have some troubles with arch.

Error (couldn't post the screen) :

I'm sorry for the potato quality, who knew taking a terminal shot wasn't easy.

Thank you

[edit] : added when the error shows up

Welcome to the arch linux forums astolabe.  Is the installed kernel the same one that booted successfully on the install media?

I think so yes, unless I don't understand your question.

Additional info : I used the latest version of Arch available and used Rufus to make an USB bootable.

Re: Kernel Panic after pacstrap ~ Thinkpad T440p

The kernel on the 2018.10.01 iso is 4.18.9 the kernel in the current core repository is 4.18.11 thats why I asked.  The versions used on the install media are not related to those installed.
pacstrap downloads the packages from a mirror and it is whatever version the mirror supplies that is used.
