System freeze booting the Feb. 2024 installer with kernel 6.7.2

I got a lockup/stacktrace using the archlinux-2024.02.01-x86_64.iso from a USB drive.

I saw it using an Intel CPU-based system (Sandy Bridge) which has not had problems over the years.

Can you boot if adding vga=789 and/or nomodeset to the Kernel Parameter?

I have the January installer saved and didn't encounter the issue.  I haven't been able to tell what is causing it in the Feb. version.

Yup, what I meant was: can you actualy boot 2024.02.01 with #3 ?

It booted the first time I tried it.  I think it happens once it is past the grub menu before the whole copy to RAM finishes.
