Arch iso`s boot into yellow screen.

Hi,
I upgraded my pc to intel 265K , gigabyte z890m gaming x and have nvidia titan v ceo - decided to install Arch and once kernel modules starting to initialize tty changes from black to yellow and fonts are invisible but if i use iGPU - all good.
I remember from the past if i used uefi and gpu uefi option on my Asus Z10PE-D16 WS i used to get same issues so i kept Legacy mode on CSM option ( bios + uefi ), but on this motherboard bios (F5) i cant find any options but i did choose Legacy options and secure boot is disabled.
is this specific drivers in iso causing my issue or my bios wont boot into legacy mode or video drivers in iso wont initialize ?
Also - fast boot is disabled.
p.s. tried lates Arch iso and iso from September 2025
Thank You.

Re: Arch iso`s boot into yellow screen.

from a quick search it appears thats a nouveau issue, so just use nomodeset or iGPU for the install process and install the nvidia drivers and all should be good
you definately shouldnt need legacy/csm boot, use UEFI
