Surface3 installed failed with spi problem

My screen was broken,and i want to install arch.In other days it can be installed properly and just can't use the screen because it will touch the screen automatically when u use modern surface like xfce or kde so it isn't work good and i uninstalled it from the device.But today i want to install the latest arch(1.01) again,it failed and post lots of erro when i get into the live boot.

Re: Surface3 installed failed with spi problem

boot with

modprobe.blacklist=spi_nsp,spi_pxa2xx_platform

parameters and once in live ISO install the system, after installing to make it permanent add that parameter to your bootloader *config, ntg much you said touchscreen is broken so I thought blacklisting it might help.
Before that go through this
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters

edit:
I’ve provided guidance to the best of my knowledge. I won’t be able to follow up further, hope this will be solved Good luck!
