Exact same configuration. I am on a Yoga Pro 7 14ARP8. I have been experiencing some freezes and kernel panics in the last few months. Not sure since when precisely. I had issues resuming from suspend in integrated graphics mode. They’re gone now that I use only hybrid mode, but still getting crashes from time to time. Especially on shutdown. And twice while updating.
Any idea why, or if the issue/bug has been identified?
After kernel panic during the update, I also managed to solve in a similar way. Since chrooted pacman was broken also in my case, instead of pacman-static I figured that it’s possible to launch pacman from the live system but with the --root /mnt flag so that it affects packages on the mounted (broken) system.
