Repeated audit logs in console when booting from USB drive.

Hello Arch community!
I'm new to Arch and after some reading on the wiki I've decided I was ready to try and install it for myself to try it out.
Well clearly I was wrong since things went wrong before I was even able to input any commands

The issue I'm having is that audit is continuously logging into my console.
Here is a picture of the logs I'm receiving (sorry for the bad quality):
Audit logs

If anyone knows why this is happening and how I can fix it, I would be grateful for your help.
If you need any other info don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you,
pv2k

Re: Repeated audit logs in console when booting from USB drive.

Hi, I don't know why it happens, testing the current archiso image in fresh virtualbox environment does not displays this behavior for me.

But there is a simple way to fix it,
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Audit_framework
states in the 1st chapter how to suppress the audit messages with a kernel parameter.
