Hello, I was trying to test out EndeavourOS as a linux distro but cannot get past rebooting after install. Live USB works fine, including multiple monitors and my 2 nvidia GPUS, a gtx1080 and quadro P620.
Have tried all 3 kernel choices, using KDE plasma. It goes through reboot and at the point it does:
Reached target Graphical Interface.
Starting Hostname Service...
Started Hostname Service.
The screen blinks like it is starting the graphical interface, but instantly goes back to this screen, I can switch terminals and login, its how I got my logs, but the system will freeze pretty quickly, managed 1 log per reboot.
One of the issues right off the bat is there are 8 newer UEFI Bios updates. You should look at updating to the latest version. Your current version is 1302 dated 09/02/2019
They were all mostly incremental updates, with main update for windows 11 support, updated anyway to 2004 and made no difference. System still stops at same point.
This only happens on EndeavourOS, I have been able to install and boot into manjaro, ubuntu and pop os in the meantime.
Update: definitely has to do with the nvidia drivers, I can do nouveau drivers and get to the desktop, but if I try to use nvidia drivers I can’t. Tried using nvidia-inst once booted using nouveau drivers and it resulted in me not being able to boot the same.
I wasn’t saying it was going to fix your Nvidia issue but the UEFI Bios updates are important. They have new Intel Microcode and Improved system stability and memory function etc. It’s good you updated it anyway and now you’ll have to figure out what the issue is with the Nvidia.
Did you try running the installer in test mode? It would be interesting to see what it shows.
nvidia-inst -t
Edit:
You could post the output here to be looked at.
Also I tried some things from that other guide, set the modules to early load and didn’t make a difference, will try the nvidia-hook from that thread and see if it makes a difference.

If it were me i would try the dkms installer after running the update data base first and then also run a pacman update. Then run the nvidia-installer-dkms
You have two different Nvidia graphics cards. What is your goal? To be able to run on either one and be able to switch between them? Or you are just trying to get it to load to a desktop and work? I’m only asking as you showed prime in the other post?
nvidia-inst did not work, swapped back to nouveau, then ran nvidia-installer-dkms, with database update, no luck.
I have 5 monitors, 1 main off the GTX 1080 and 4 off the P620, in other distros an nvidia PRIME setup is only way I have gotten all output, otherwise I get nothing off the P620.
I have tried normal and --prime at this point with no luck. One difference I am seeing is that both installers use the 515 beta driver, other distros have all been the 510 driver.
I am fine troubleshooting getting all monitors to work, after I can at least boot using nvidia drivers if that is an issue, but I cannot even get to that point.
[scott@scott-pc ~]$ nvidia-installer-check
Multiple Nvidia card ids detected!
Graphics card (id: 1b80):
- Is supported by the nvidia-dkms driver.
- To install a driver for this card, you can use e.g. nvidia-installer-dkms.
Graphics card (id: 1cb6):
- Is supported by the nvidia-dkms driver.
- To install a driver for this card, you can use e.g. nvidia-installer-dkms.
Yes, I verfied using nvidia-smi. Also remember on boot up with nvidia drivers I have maybe 5 minutes before system does a full freeze and I forced to reset to check things. Currently sitting on the desktop with nouveau drivers.
