seth do you think git bisection might help?

Re: Stuck at 'loading initial ramdisk' on latest kernel

What worries me is

sometimes it gets stuck at loading initial ramdisk even running a working kernel and I have to reboot to start the system. It has always done so.

what sounds as if this a race condition and you end at some innocent commit that just made something slower or faster (or false positives)

I'll throw an

acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2009"

but am otherwise out of ideas.

It seems that this pc, or the OS, should be replaced. There is also Debian installed and works fine without problems.

Re: Stuck at 'loading initial ramdisk' on latest kernel

Does debian also run 6.5.3?

You could use the LTS kernel for the time being, but oc. at some point want to see this fixed.
loqs is probably gonna throw some bisection kernels at you…

Re: Stuck at 'loading initial ramdisk' on latest kernel

Debian stable runs on 6.1.0-12-amd64, is know that its packages are very old, especially compared to Arch ones. What I wanted to say about Debian is that it boots always at the first attempt, unlike Arch that sometimes stuck at loading initial ramdisk since 4.x,  5.x and  before 6.5.x kernel
I am very grateful for your support in trying to solve this odd issue and please apologize me for my bad english.

Re: Stuck at 'loading initial ramdisk' on latest kernel

This might be a silly idea but if you boot from the latest ISO, can you see your internal disks on every boot?

Re: Stuck at 'loading initial ramdisk' on latest kernel

Have you tried booting linux-6.4.r1094.g2605e80d3438-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst more than once?  It being bad rules out ACPI changes as far as I can see.  Will also build a 6.4 test kernel to see if it is a config change after the next bisection point.
