Can't download arch linux on Thinkpad t14 gen2

Faced with the problem of installing Arch linux on a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 gen2 laptop (11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1145G7). Errors come out during the initial installation:

[ 133.403513] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [\_SB.PC00.RP09.PEGP.DDNT], AE_NOT_FOUND (20240322/psargs-529)
[ 133.405471] ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PC00.LPCB.EC.SEN4._TMP due to previous error (AE_NOT_FOUND) (20240322/psparse-529)

.........

Further actions are impossible and i can only reboot the device. All drivers and bios have been updated to the latest version. I am sure that the problem is with the laptop, because I tried to install it on the PC and everything went well. I do not understand how to fix this problem

I'm having the same issue, it makes It uninstallable on what is considered to be a fairly Linux compatible device. I'm going to try to do it again on the September ISO once it's out.

Hey Rude,

After a little bit of a google I found this Ubuntu Post that is dealing with something similar.

It looks like there might be an error on the disk itself rather than the arch download.
The ubuntu advice should still work for arch in this case but I think re-formating the disk might be a good next step.

(when reformatting make sure you do a backup because all the data will be wiped)

Let me know if it works

How are you writing the image to the disk?
