[SOLVED]Systemd-boot Kernel frozen on Triggering uevents

I've tried fixing this issue. I did some searching and Its suggested it might be a nvidia gpu issue so I added kernel parameters module_blacklist=nouveau, and I also tried nomodest. Which didn't work, and I also have nvidia's proprietary drivers installed. I followed the systemd-boot wiki, and checked bootctl status and everything looked good. I'm also using testing/linux-zen.

I'm not sure what other relevant information I need to add, so please let me know and I'll provide what I can. I apologize for all the post I'm just not sure how to solve this.

Problem: It was an issue with testing/linux-zen-5.15, and testing/nvidia-495.44-3.
Solution: using the stable Linux kernel fixed the problem for me.

Re: [SOLVED]Systemd-boot Kernel frozen on Triggering uevents

Do you have the updated linux-zen-headers from testing and the nvidia-dkms package?

Re: [SOLVED]Systemd-boot Kernel frozen on Triggering uevents

Yes I do. Because when in chroot during install I enabled all repositories in pacman.conf and ran -syu.

Was my post moved from installation to testing repo form?

Re: [SOLVED]Systemd-boot Kernel frozen on Triggering uevents

I assumed the "testing" linux-zen to mean you used the testing repos. But I probably misinterpreted that. In any case there's little information here. is a certain graphical setup expected to start? Can you switch the VT with Ctrl+Alt+F2? What can happen is that things hang on SSDs due to a too fast initalisation in which case you'll want to do https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Early_loading

Which graphics card exactly? If you can't get this to boot at all, boot the live disk, chroot in and post

journalctl -b
pacman -Qs nvidia
pacman -Q linux linux-zen linux-headers linux-zen-headers

Re: [SOLVED]Systemd-boot Kernel frozen on Triggering uevents

Let me elaborate. When systemd-boot loads the kernel it ends up only starting early hook udev, and makes it until the last command I see if Triggering uevents. Which takes about a second until it freezes and there's not been much I can do about it.

I've got my arch iso on a ventoy usb stick. And when I boot into arch medium it messes up my ssd mounts. I actually just broke my install. Oops. Anyway I can't paste those commands results at the moment.

Re: [SOLVED]Systemd-boot Kernel frozen on Triggering uevents

Which installation instructions are you following/which Arch ISO are you using exactly? A normal Arch ISO does not do anything to your running system unless you explicitly instruct it to do so.

Re: [SOLVED]Systemd-boot Kernel frozen on Triggering uevents

What is the kernel version of the linux-zen? 5.15?

Maybe we have same issue:

- linux-zen 5.15.zen1-1
- nvidia-dkms 495.44-3

And linux 5.15.arch1-1 and nvidia 495.44-4 have this issue too.

Maybe caused by new kernel config. (the AUR/linux-mainline not have this issue)

Re: [SOLVED]Systemd-boot Kernel frozen on Triggering uevents

I was following the wiki systemd-boot section. The iso I have was the 11-01 from the download section. I was using those drivers and kernel version. So that very well probably was the issue.

Re: [SOLVED]Systemd-boot Kernel frozen on Triggering uevents

Are you sure about that? 5.15 is in testing if you didn't try to set that up you do not have a 5.15 version and you asked why the thread was moved to testing, you'd know if you enabled that. Post those outputs otherwise this isn't going anywhere.

Re: [SOLVED]Systemd-boot Kernel frozen on Triggering uevents

Yes I'm sure it was testing. I went into pacman conf and uncommented all repositories. I was confused as to why the post was moved to testing because I didn't think it was an issue with testing packages, but it appears to be that it was. I will post those outputs in a few minutes I need to go through installation quickly.

In order for me to post those commands I'm going to need to take some pictures of my screen. I'm on bare metal, and can't I can't cp the results. It's going to take a few minutes to get that all done.

Photos will be uploaded within 30 minutes of this edit. nvm this shit is going to take forever. I give up with trying to post pictures.

Re: [SOLVED]Systemd-boot Kernel frozen on Triggering uevents

Please read the links people link to you. If you have an internet connection in your live usb you can post commands with a pastebin service.

You shouldn't enable the testing repositories if you don't know what that entails and which things can get broken from it.

What was the solution? Reinstall without testing? Please be more proactive in sharing what you ended up doing to solve the issue so others can have a reference point: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … way_street

Re: [SOLVED]Systemd-boot Kernel frozen on Triggering uevents

I provided a solution. If you read the thread I believe it's clear what I did to fix the problem.
