Kernel panic when installing Go

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well.
So I'm installing Arch in a laptop a friend just gave me, it's a Lenovo G470, an old model I know but we put it 8 GB RAM and an i5 processor.
I've been having a lot of issues while installing including several kernel panics but I still managed to figure out what to do. I already installed the system, and KDE as my DE.
But now when trying to install yay for the AUR packages it seems I need to install Go first. When I do it, it goes fine until like 60% of the download and then the screen just freezes and I have to force a reboot. When I go to the console mode with CTRL+ALT+F3 and try to install it from there I get a kernel panic, the same as the ones before I think. The thing is I can't read it because it goes too fast and I tried with pause_on_oops=20 but it doesn't do anything the error just goes too fast.
Now I really don't know what to do, I can't find the issue anywhere and I'm conscient it's not just and error installing Go bc I had the same error so many times before, if I remember well all of them while installing packages with pacman.
So can it be that I have a broken pacman? Or some hardware doesn't have the firmware installed or something like that... How can I know?
If anyone can help me with this in any way I would really apreciate it... :'D

Re: Kernel panic when installing Go

Please post the journal for that boot.  If it is too big to fit in code tags see the tip box from pastebin.

Re: Kernel panic when installing Go

Thanks for your help.
The journal for that boot is: http://ix.io/2BFB
While only the errors and alerts are: http://ix.io/2BFy
Idk if that helps, may be I have to use other filtering?

Re: Kernel panic when installing Go

Is the system rebooting after the panic or is the end of the panic left on the screen?  Do you have another system you can ssh into this one from?

When I'm using the graphic interface the screen just freezes. Now I was watching something in YouTube and it happened again out of nowhere, and I noticed the audio was in a loop.
When I'm in the console interface the panic is left on the screen, however I cannot read it completely and obviously can't copy it.
Now it's getting really annoying, should I try just reinstalling the entire system?

And yes, I have my other laptop but I don't have Linux there, though I still have the bootable USB.

Re: Kernel panic when installing Go

# pacman -Qkk 2>&1 | grep -Fv '0 altered files'

To detect altered or missing files tracked by pacman.
Edit:
Any OS with an SSH client would do to try and catch all of the panic output.

And how can I do that? Sorry I guess I'm causing you a lot of trouble but I really don't know what to do haha:)

Not seeing anything wrong in the output.

Re: Kernel panic when installing Go

we put it 8 GB RAM

How? Second DIMM? Same model?
Did you run memtest86+?

Also "brcmsmac"… have you tried to reproduce the halt w/ a wired connection?
