TTY is not working after fresh install

I'm on 12.9-arch1-1 xfce 4.20 and my device is ThinkPad X1 Tablet

When I try to enter TTY(F1 F2 F3, etc) all I get is a black screen. At this point It's frozen as I cannot go back to gui. I have to do a hard reset to resolve. I'm not sure If I could provide a log as all I get is black screen. Please let me know if you need more info I could provide.

Could you try the linux-lts package instead of the linux package? Also which graphics card does this system use?

I seem unable to get lts and zen kernel to work after installing there. I am getting error when booting into them.
