[Solved] Archlinux install media fails to load properly

I'm trying to install archlinux on my desktop pc and I'm having an issue where the installation media throws a lot of ACPI Errors after I pick the first choice and then throws me this screen:

Any guidance/advice on what to do? I'm genuinelly lost on this one.

I'll post any command outputs/logs/info that's requested

How did you write the image?

Re: [Solved] Archlinux install media fails to load properly

I burned the Arch image to an usb media using rufus, tried it on my notebook and no issue there so it wasn't the instalation media.

Digging around, turns out I had Intel RST enabled on bios wich is not compatible not just with Arch but with Linux in general. After disabling it I still get a lot of ACPI Errors but at least the installation media works now

I'll mark this as solved and if I have any more issues with the installation I'll open another thread

Thanks for replying
