    Nah, I run my updates maybe once a week on average. If afterwards something breaks, I simply do a complete Rollback (with e. g. snapshots). If after the next update its still broken, then I start to dig in „what“ is broken and how I might fix it

    But as I said, it didn‘t happen to me yet - but I‘m also fairly new to Arch as well, so that‘s at least my plan on how I would go after it.

    Rolling release 🤷🏻‍♂️ there might be updates which cause issues where you might need to rollback, if you can handle that it shouldn‘t be a problem.

    I‘m using Arch myself since about 2 months and never happened that an update break something for me - when something broke it was my own fault.



  • got some news. I don’t think, that it might change something, but who knows.
    I added in grub the option “insmod progress” (which I found by googling somewhere). It should show, if kernel and initrd do load or not and now I can see, that the vmlinuz and initrd are loading to 100% and after that it hangs. So it looks like the kernel loads but then stucks.
    As said before, I don’t think that this might change something in regards to further tests with my actual mobo, but I didn’t want to left that out …











  • Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m not complaining at all, in contrary, I am enormous grateful for any help I get.
    I posted alread in reddit as well - subreddits r/Nobara, r/linux4noobs and r/linuxquestions
    Asus-Linux has a thready-like area in their discord „general-issues“, where I made the thread…

    At first it is to learn how everything behaves, test my use-cases to see, if linux could become an all-dayer for me - that would be the main goal - until then the dual-boot to have a fallback option.



  • Yes, secure boot is set to Other OS - if set otherwise there’s a message after grub that secure boot is active, so pretty sure about that.

    Unfortunately it doesn‘t show anything, even with no parameters at all. The only thing that shows up when changing the grub parameters is the „booting a command line“ message which stays there forever, nothing happens.
    I‘ll record it with my phone when I get home later on today with the nomodeset parameter.


  • Unfortunately nothing. Did install - reboot with acpi=off, reboot with no acpi parameter, reboot with acpi=off

    Dmesg shows for the boot=-1 the first boot after install with acpi=off

    No log for the try without acpi parameter 😢😢

    Booting with acpi=off shows many logs with „IRQ not found for nvidia …“ (in the meaning, not wordly).

    Edit: can‘t find an irq for your nvidia card

    Edit 2: found a boot.log file. When trying to boot without acpi=off then no log is written, the bootprocess doesn‘t even start. From this point of view I‘d guess a Problem with UEFI. Still no idea what and where, but it‘s not graphics related if the bootprocess doesn‘t start at all… what d‘you think?
