Black screen after upgrading the AMD GPU driver stack on my laptop

Hello there,

It seems like ther's an OS-breaking issue with either one of the components of the AMD graphics stack with my laptop's AMD iGPU.

The laptop model is Asus VivoBook S M3502QA (Ryzen 5 5600H Edition).

I tried many different ways to install Arch and also Arch-derivatives containing the Arch repos like EndeavourOS to see if this is an issue with the Arch package. Low and behold, both pure Arch and the derivatives stopped at a black screen after install.

I am unable to show error logs for obvious reasons; I'm fumbling in the dark, quite literally.

Please send this feedback to the package maintainers so that the issue could be investigated further.

Thank you for the understanding.

I hope I can help you out with your Arch issues and get myself helped out, as well.

You give up too easily.

Load up a live ISO image and follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … al_to_view & https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … ted_client.

Please send this feedback to the package maintainers so that the issue could be investigated further.

If we can't fix this here you can do that yourself: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bug_re … guidelines

For the record: I happen to have a laptop with a 5th generation Ryzen iGPU and it works just fine with kernel 6.6.8 and the latest graphics stack.
