[SOLVED]Cant install Arch Linux 2017.08.01 release. ASUS X553 LAPTOP

When trying to launch from USB Arch hangs on message "triggering uevents".

CPU: Intel Pentium CPU N3540 (Intel BYT-M)
MOTHERBOARD:  X553MA

PCI DEVICES:
    Atom processor Z36XXX/Z37XXX Series SoC (Host bridge)
    Atom processor Z36XXX/Z37XXX Series Grap (VGA compatible controller)
    Atom processor 3800 (SATA controller)
    Atom processor Z36XXX/Z37XXX (Encryption controller)
    Atom processor Z36XXX/Z37XXX (Audio device)
    Atom processor 3800 (PCI bridge)... Got tired while rewriting from display.

When trying to boot with option "loglevel=7"
...
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
r8169 0000:03:00.2: cant disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control  (This is last message I see before hangs).

I tried to use "pcie_aspm=force/off" - no result. It hangs on the message:
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded

PS:  The earlier release of Arch Linux (2016.10.01) i installed without problems some time before.
PS2: USB flash storage was formated in FAT32. The ISO file was written with dd util.

Booting with the kenrel option "pcie_aspm=force" should have allowed you to boot the iso. Do you have an older iso you could install from?

The "pcie_aspm=force" doesn't resolve this. However, I discovered another error: snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: failed to add i915 component master (-19).

Yes, I still have older image. After I got that I nothing can do to this current release, I tried to boot it. And it booted without issues.  I assuming that there is something problematic with current kernel version, kind of firmware or drivers issue. I was using Arch Linux for some time (first time installed image - 2016.10.01 version).  One day after full system upgrade,  I booted laptop, as usually  it was showing some startup logs but then I saw my laptop completely hangs with black screen (I remember, the display was showing nothing, not even black screen). For some reason I decided to not bother myself about what exactly happened there. And now I trying to reinstall it.

Re: [SOLVED]Cant install Arch Linux 2017.08.01 release. ASUS X553 LAPTOP

Ok. So I came up with conclusion it is really kernel issue. I booted live linux kernel 4.7.5 version from ISO (2016.10.1) and then installed base system with kernel version 4.12.X. And unfortunately I saw the same sad picture. It hangs on starting  udev Kernel Device  Manager.

itTCO_wdt: Intel TCO WatchDog Timer Driver v1.11
itTCO_wdt: Found a Bay Trail SoC TCO TCO device (Version=3, TCOBASE=0x0460)

    So, how I can install Arch Linux with older version of kernel, or where I can write about my issue?

Install linux-lts & run mkinitcpio -p linux-lts .
Then configure the boot loader to give you a choice between linux-lts and latest linux.

That way you have an uptodate older kernel and can still try latest kernel for troubleshooting.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.


(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)

Well, I tried several things and this are the results:

1.- The latest working release from Arch is the 2017.05.01:
https://www.archlinux.org/releng/releases/2017.05.01/
with the 4.10.13 kernel. Newer releases won't boot.

2.- It's definitely a driver issue, because 4.14 kernels from OpenSUSE and Ubuntu work just fine, but those from Arch and Solus won't boot. I compiled the kernel with an Ubuntu config file on Arch and it boots all right.

Version 4.15.2 of the kernel works, the problem was a i915 bug but it's fixed now.
