Lenovo G530 (4446) reboots midway through booting EndeavourOS

General system Kernel & Hardware
#1

I’ve been trying to boot EndeavourOS (and for that matter Vanilla Arch) on my system for quite a while now, and it reboots midway through the boot process every time, whether I use the first boot option (https://youtu.be/jKfpDT4i9UU) or nomodeset (https://youtu.be/92QwfKAM_bU). I’m using the latest ISO as of Jul 21, 2022.

I used etcher to flash everything, and tried a couple boot options. iommu=off basically got me the same result, and acpi=off, when in combination with nomodeset, got me past that barrier, but I couldn’t get into any GUI, as Xorg failed to start - (https://youtu.be/ueALth51rpE).

I can get into the latest Debian, so I can collect any Debian logs if that helps.

Try to add i915 and intel in the module_blacklist=

I would suggest trying other methods as well.
Also, confirm your BIOS is configured properly.

As I recall there is (or was) a problem with Belena Etcher. Try Ventoy (a slight learning curve), or Suse Writer (point, click and drag) instead.

Gave both Ventoy and Rufus (dd mode) a try - made no difference

with acpi off and nomodeset?

With acpi=off and nomodeset it does the same thing as in the last video I linked

#10

try with or without xf86-video-intel

The issue I’m trying to solve is the rebooting midway through the boot process - the video module loads just fine
