[SOLVED] Cant install arch on laptop

I tried installing Arch on a laptop(Asus Vivobook S14 S435), and it doesnt boot at all, i think its because of the nvme drive not loading, since it puts me into a rootfs shell and not mouting the new_root, same thing happens if i install arch manually, with archinstall, multiple gui installers, endeavour and manjaro.
anybody knows how i can install arch on my laptop?

Re: [SOLVED] Cant install arch on laptop

Other distros and easy installers aside, which commands did you issue to install Arch Linux and the bootloader in particular?
What where the exact outputs? If you used the guided installer, please provide its entire log.

Re: [SOLVED] Cant install arch on laptop

Same here, installing on a Lenovo Legion 5.

I have also tried to add vmd module as suggested here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=251762
and added the following to /etc/default/grub (before rebuilding GRUB of course):

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cryptdevice=/dev/nvme0n1p1:disk"
GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y

At this stage I am a out of ideas on what might be missing. Any help appreciated.
