Hey guys and girls,
I'm currently trying to install arch on my new machine.
I've got it all set up and running with encryption until I get to the desktop environment stuff, which requires graphics.
Now, when I try to boot, I can get past GRUB, it shows "loading initramfs" and then it gets stuck at Starting systemd-udevd version 252.2-3-arch" and "freezes".
However, it seems to be only a graphics thing, since when I type in my disk encryption password it takes me to my greeter.
I can type in my password but it never takes me past it. I can also switch to another tty session, but that also just shows the systemd message from above.
I tried preloading the nvidia modules in initramfs and modprobe, as well as blacklisting it in the kernel parameters, all to no avail.
Any suggestions?

Please post the full journal for a boot with the issue.

Here, I hope this helps!
This is what I get, when I blindly type in my encryption password, my greeter does not show anymore somehow.
When I do not enter my password, no journal is even created.

Is this a SLI system? If yes, can you try booting with one GPU only?

No SLI, there is only one GPU installed.

No, there's an nvidia GPU and an AMD GPU.

try to blacklist amdgpu.
Blacklisting i915 will of course not work, because there's no such chip and the module therefore not loaded itfp.

seth... Why such need then? Doesn't the kernel manage to "sense" tha attached output(s) to the related GPU's port?

I blacklisted the module in my kernel parameters ("modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu").
That did the trick as far as I can now see the password prompt for my disk encryption, but once that's through, I'm stuck at a frozen output, unable to switch to ttys.
Here's the current journal output.

Can you boot the multi-user.target (2nd link below)?
@d.Alt, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p2072518 - reverse situation, similar problem.

Alright, I changed it to multi-user.target and at first I thought that it didn't work either, but I waited a little longer.
It turns out, I accidentally messed up an fstab UUID and it just took very long for the timeout error to show.
I fixed that and now everything works as expected!
Thanks for your time, greatly appreciate it!
