hi there
tried to do a fresh install x86_64 today. the installer just gets part way through booting up and reboots itself constantly .i am running an a6 cpu.
this is my first arch install but i am not new to linux.
could someone point me in the right direction for help on this issue.

I'm not really into hardware, but isn't an A6 cpu ARM? I'm surprised the installation media does anything at all!

no its a full blown amd chip with integrated graphics.....
i previously had this pc running mint16 xfce 64 bit perfectly fine, so it shouldnt be a hardware issue...
Offline
Aah, I just duckduckwent AMD A6 and now I see what you've got. I was thinking of the Apple A6 chip.
What point in booting up does it get to? Can you note down the last few lines, or take a photo just before it reboots and put it on a dropbox?

seems like an issue with the kernel and mobo combination.(msi fm2-a75ia-e53)
see thread about same problem with ubuntu 14.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1309578
have managed to get to login prompt by adding 'radeon.dpm=0' to the boot loader
not done a complete install yet...
will post results back when know more

managed to install the system to hdd last night.....
still reboots all the time even if i add radeon.dpm = 0 to grub.
is it possible to upgrade the kernel as it seems to affect this kernel?

You could try booting into rescue mode (add "1" to the kernel line), connecting to the network and upgrading - but if it is a fresh install you probably already have the latest kernel available. Installing the lts kernel might bring you more luck if the bug is a regression.

where do i add 1 to kernel line? sounds like that would work if i could get back in.

What bootloader are you using? If you are using grub, press "e" on the boot option before it times out and boots the default.
Edit: Looks like hokasch beat me to it, and gave a much better answer.

managed to get back in ...1 wouldnt work radeon.dpm = 0 worked but complained about it.
have put lts kernel on and updated grub but still kernel panics and reboots at login...
any suggestions?

Can you be more specific about the kernel panic?
If you are now booting the LTS kernel (double check, maybe you forgot to change your default) then it seems like your problem is not what you thought.
You say it reboots at login - is it a graphical login? If so, can you boot OK without X?
If you boot in the same way you did before and check the journal with journalctl you might be able to find more details about why the computer reboots.
