GRUB freezes on "Loading initial ramdisks"

Hello! So, my first time posting, 'cause I can't get my Arch to work. So, here's my intricate problem:
When I try to install Arch, and boot it with GRUB, it writes something about loading initial ramdisks, and freezes
But this only happens when I use --removable in grub-install command. Else, it doesn't work
When I use archinstall, PC instead freezes on Arch's logo
I struggle on this problem since maybe August, and I still couldn't solve it
I will let you know anything you need: hardware I have, all commands I used, etc. Hope you will help me!

Re: GRUB freezes on "Loading initial ramdisks"

writes something about loading initial ramdisks, and freezes

So grub starts the kernel.
Can you boot the system when adding "systemd.unit=multi-user.target nomodeset" to the kernel parameters?
(You can press "e" in grub and edit the commandline)
