[Solved] 4070 Ti - Locks up on boot

j00k3d · 2023-09-01 14:16:30

Arch displays two lines of the boot process, and then doesn't continue. From the logs it looks like the graphical environment isn't being loaded? You can see in the boot logs it registers that power button is held down to shutdown the machine.

uname -a:

Linux arch-btw 6.4.12-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 24 Aug 2023 00:38:14 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

pacman -Q | grep nvidia:

nvidia 535.104.05-2
nvidia-settings 535.104.05-1
nvidia-utils 535.104.05-1

mkinitcpio.conf:

MODULES=(btrfs nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)
BINARIES=(/usr/bin/btrfs)
FILES=()
HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect keyboard sd-vconsole modconf block filesystems fsck)

systemctl get-default:

multi-user.target

I changed this based on my last install where I was also having an issue getting the 4070 drivers installed. It was previously set to

graphical.target

, but that was not working either.

journalctl -b -1 | grep nvidia (logs from last boot):

Blacklist i915

I had to blacklist i915 by using the install trick from the wiki, but it worked!

Thread marked as solved.

I appreciate you, Seth. Learned a lot.
