manjaro won't boot

Dragonwinged · July 2, 2021

Just got the proper hardware and OS installed in my laptop. New problem. Now it won't boot at all. It keeps showing this, then won't respond to anything. I can boot into the grub menu, but not into the actual os.

Try add acpi_backlight=vendor to the kernel parameter. Edit grub if you're able to boot into OS with that.

Yeah, I found that fix. I've got everything set up now. It'll boot up and shut down properly, but the error on amdgpu still flashes for a moment. I did get a weird message saying the kernel was unsupported and I needed to update, despite having just updated everything.
