Hi all!
I'm having some issues trying to install arch on my old MacbookPro 8,3. I have a proper live ISO installed on a spare USB drive I had lying around, but whenever I try to boot in via UEFI on the system it freezes up after systemd-boot's timer starts counting down. I did try what the arch wiki page for this laptop says ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MacBoo … stallation ) and tried added radeon.modeset=0 to the boot params, but the same problem occurs.
Has anyone had a similar issue with this model laptop? I can't seem to find a solution for this anywhere.
Quick edit:
I should probably mention that this laptop does NOT have a failed ATI GPU chip, unless they're just considered failed by default. I've repasted this and it doesn't have any issues that I'm able to detect.
