Black screen - system does not start

mini · 2025-10-14 06:59:55

When I turn my notebook on it freezes with a black screen.
My PC - Lenovo V110 GPU Intel hd graphics 520.
I have tried installing on my laptop manjaro and chachyos with the same result.
To check I also tried installing debian and fedora and this works without problems.
It seems that there is a problem related to arch distributions after upgrading to the latest kernel.
I had been running manjaro on this laptop for many years.
BTW I have also installed Arch on another PC without any problems.

"Turn on": no post, no bootloader, no kernel messages or no GUI?
If you still reach the bootloader, can you boot the multi-user.target (2nd link below) - can you if you also add "nomodeset" to the kernel parameters?

When I start the laptop I get a black screen, no bootloader, no kernel messages.
Key Ctrl+Alt+F1, Ctrl+Alt+F2 and Ctrl+Alt+F3 don't work as I can't get any output for journalctl -b.
When I start with the installation medium and read the contents of /boot, all necessary files are found: initramfs-linux.img, initramfs-linux-fallback.img, intel-ucode.img and vmlinuz-linux.
There is also grub.cfg in /boot/grub.
I have no idea what else I can check.

But grub from the install iso works?

Use the linux-its kernel. When I installed the Archlinux with latest kernel, I met some problems that was when I close my laptop and open again, I can not type letters, but when I used linux-its kernel, it work.

Ok, thanks, I'll try.

If you indeed don't get a bootloader, changing the kernel behind the bootloader will not get you a bootloader for sure.
