Installation stops after the first reboot [SOLVED]

Hi everyone,
I tried to install archlinux on a new notebook, but the installation fails after the first reboot.
When I select the Archlinux entry from the GRUB menu the system stops and  the following message appears on the screen:

 [1.035335] mmc0: Unknown controller version (3). You may experience problems.
/dev/sdb1: clean, 34211/7815168 files, 759658/31258449 blocks
[2.587250] tpm_crb: MSFT0101:00: TPM2 ACPI table gas a zero address for the control area

I installed Arch on a SSD in MBR mode (I tried both MBR and GPT and the result is the same). It seems to me I followed the beginner's guide  step by step.
I checked the BIOS, and the UEFI system is off (so I ignored the part of the guide focused on UEFI system, and I did not create the EFI partition on the disk).

I have two hard disk on the computer, one with Windows and the SSD with Archlinux, and the GRUB's entry of Windows works properly.
I installed the system from an USB device.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Installation stops after the first reboot [SOLVED]

Please post the content of /boot/grub/grub.cfg and the output of:

lsblk -f

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … in_clients

Either run the command after using `arch-chroot` or indicate the mounting points yourself.

EDIT: Please also list the commands used to install & configure GRUB.

Here the list of the commands used to install GRUB:

pacman -S grub os-prober
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sdb
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

The sdd device is the USB drive I used to save these output.
As you can see I splitted sda hard disk in two partitions (one for windows and one for linux's home). sdc is the USB drive I used to install Arch on the notebook.
Thankyou for the reply

Re: Installation stops after the first reboot [SOLVED]

I solved this problem in a non elegant way.
I used the Antergos distribution of Arch Linux, which is provided with an easier installation tool, and the installation worked properly.
I'm sorry I cannot use directly Arch, but they are very similar (indeed I was choosing Arch both for pacman and expecially for AUR, that are both present in Antergos).


EDIT: For a better solution see below

Re: Installation stops after the first reboot [SOLVED]

Note: Antergos is not Arch. If you ask a question about Antergos here, you will get your post removed. Heads up.

Re: Installation stops after the first reboot [SOLVED]

Yes I know (I removed Antergos repository from /etc/pacman.conf),
However Antergos gave me the same problem of Arch linux and I think I found a solution for both.
Even with ubuntu or Antergos, once installed, I cannot switch into virtual consoles (tty*) (black screen)
If I disable the display manager (lightdm) the problem persists (blocking the startup process).
The problem is that the opensource nouveau driver for my graphic card (Nvidia gtx970m) cannot display the virtual consoles. So the nvidia driver must be installed BEFORE the first system startup. Then to have the graphic card working properly, you have to uninstall them in a virtual console and install official Nvidia driver. This solved the problem on both antergos and ubuntu (and it was the same problem that I experienced on Arch).
So maybe this can be usefull for other arch's users.
