Install from USB stuck in endless loop

I'm trying to install arch for the first time. I'm using the release 2024.12.01 and booting from a usb stick. Everything looks good so far, until I'm stuck in an endless loop, with three alternating messages:

- (1 of 3) A start job is running for Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronized
- (2 of 3) A start job is running for Network Name Resolution
- (3 of 3) A start job is running for Wait for Network to be configured

These message keep repeating endlessly, or at least 20 minutes. After that I shut down my laptop. I don't have LAN available, and the WIFI isn't configured yet, since this is the first boot. What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix this?

Re: Install from USB stuck in endless loop

try with your phone connected via usb and configured to network-tethering via usb to provide an additional nic that way
also: what's the model of the laptop?

Do you mean this is the very first time you've booted from the iso?
Or that you've installed Arch, and this is the first time you have rebooted?

Thanks, I'll try that approach as soon as I have time for the next attempt.
