Arch freezes when booting up after kernel update
Hello,
Today I have updated my packages in arch on both my PC and my laptop and I have updated the kernel to 5.3. I tried to reboot after updating but when booting up on my laptop, it freezes at "Starting version 243.0-arch" and it stays there forever, while my normal PC is working perfectly. Is there an issue with the drivers in the kernel?

Re: Arch freezes when booting up after kernel update
What hardware? What's supposed to start? Can you start a multi-user.target instead? Post the journal from a chroot of a live disk. Does pressing buttons accelerate the process?
Mod note: Moving to NC.

I can't post my hardware from lshw because it freezes when I try to do that so I can only say the main specs:
Intel Core i7-8750H Processor
GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
16 GB RAM
Laptop: ASUS ROG GL504GM
The thing that is supposed to start is the CLI environment (tty1) which you log in, but I am stuck in the starting thing before that. I tried changing the systemd target to multi-user but it didn't work. Pressing buttons doesn't work either. And I have no idea how to post the journal.

Re: Arch freezes when booting up after kernel update
That's literally the journal from the live image, that's largely uninteresting, chroot into your main system and post the journal from a failed boot

Re: Arch freezes when booting up after kernel update
I posted the log from the package upgrade to 30 mins later, when I rebooted as well.

Re: Arch freezes when booting up after kernel update
Does adding the kernel paramater random.trust_cpu=on have any effect?

Nope. It does not help.

Re: Arch freezes when booting up after kernel update
Were any other packages updated as the same time as the linux package? Does the linux-lts package boot correctly?

Re: Arch freezes when booting up after kernel update
I don't use linux-lts and there were a few other packages like nvidia and the virtualbox packages

Re: Arch freezes when booting up after kernel update
That was a suggestion to install and test linux-lts alongside linux. You can have multiple kernels installed at the same time.

Re: Arch freezes when booting up after kernel update
If the Nope means linux-lts does not work then please post the contents of /var/log/pacman.log
