Re: [Solved] Can't boot and reboot in loop.

What if you remove one GPU?  The system is being reset outside of the OS as indicated by the corruption fsck had to repair.

You reach the graphical target and ~30s later w/o any previous error the journal stops.

Aug 08 18:27:31 archDesktopHyderman kernel: smpboot: CPU0: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor (family: 0x19, model: 0x21, stepping: 0x2)

On top of that, select the most conservative RAM timings (just to be sure, it's likely the CPU)
Do you have https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any/amd-ucode/

And also try a non-zen kernel (eg. the LTS one)

Sidebar, unrelated but a problem: you've dhcpcd and NetworkManager enabled, disable dhcpcd if you want to continue to use NM

Re: [Solved] Can't boot and reboot in loop.

zen or lts it's the same result.
Yes, I have amd-ucode.
I have increase the offset in bios but no result.

The thing is I started on arch few month ago and I had no problem. It's really when I started to implement the dual gpu passthrough and the vm that I broke everything.
I tried to reimplement the kernel parameter for vfio but it changes nothing.

Re: [Solved] Can't boot and reboot in loop.

The install iso works?
And you also don't insta-reboot out of the rescue.target?

Please post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

(make that /mnt/etc/systemd if you're running it from the iso)

Edit: also if you remove either of the GPUs?
It's not in the journal you posted.

Re: [Solved] Can't boot and reboot in loop.

When I'm on live iso and rescue.target I have no problem.

Output: https://0x0.st/H_j4.txt

If I removed either of the GPUs it didn't change anything.

Re: [Solved] Can't boot and reboot in loop.

Boot the rescue.target,

systemctl disable --now dhcpcd
systemctl disable --now libvirtd.service
systemctl disable --now libvirtd.socket
systemctl disable --now libvirtd-ro.service
systemctl disable --now virtlockd.socket
systemctl disable --now virtlogd.socket
systemctl disable --now display-manager.service
systemctl start multi-user.target
# wait for reboot, if it doesn't happen
systemctl start display-manager.service

Re: [Solved] Can't boot and reboot in loop.

Thanks a lot it works,
I suppose it's libvirt the problem.
I will see tomorrow for making the vm work. This time I will make a clone to another drive because timeshift didnt really help.
