System hangs on Starting Version 250.3-4-arch

When I boot up my PC it hangs with that message being the last one before it stops.
What I have tried: chroot in and update, chroot in and tried systemctl status, looked at the journal

I have seen some people say it's an issue with their nvidia cards however I have an AMD gpu
I have also seen some say it's a problem with systemd and they needed to downgrade, however I am unaware how to do that

Could be many things.

Do you have network connection from the chroot ?

If yes, run

SYSTEMD_LESS=FRXMK journalctl -b -1 |& curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

It will attempt to upload the journal from your previous boot, once its finished there will be an url shown .
post that url.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

If you have 'quiet' in the kernel command line (grub default), remove it.

Is the journal from the live media.  Did you forget to chroot in?

That looks like the journal from the Live USB. Did you mount the relevant partitions and enter the chroot before running that command?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

The '-b -1' should be '-b 1'

Edit: Nevermind, I misread it.
