New Installation, black screen on boot

General system EndeavourOS installation

yeah i know but when i cat it it’s empty

this is because system is booted from liveiso… :wink:

Interesting hardware is the GPU:

as it shows it can not load unable to load driver i965 what is strange… but could be some leftover from latest removal of older driver from mesa and unrelated…

Because I would bet the device is not some 10y old hardware…

It could be simple an issue with the current kernel… as X is working on the ISO with an older kernel… but we had also mesa update lately… so could be both… but it worth try is to install LTS kernel:
sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers and boot with this one

(do not forget to run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg)

Maybe try these kernel parameters in the default grub command line and update grub with the proper command

i915.enable_rc6=0 i915.enable_psr=0

I was also thinking about this! But didn’t want to suggest it, isn’t it that the new iso requires some additional fix because of grub when one installs another kernel? Is it just running grub-install?

only regenerating grub.cfg this is needed after adding removing anything to the boot process :wink:
like options to grub kernel line or adding and removing a kernel.

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I am having the exact same issue on the same laptop with the same version, also running disk encryption and have tried a couple of reinstalls. Previous versions of Endeavour OS have been working great. Have been running it for a little over a year now. I thought it was interesting that the live image loads without an issue. I have only done online installs.

I am going to try selecting the LTS kernel during install and see how that works out. Happy to provide logs as well if it’s useful.

Good news, the LTS kernel seemes to be working! Did the online install, the same as before, but also added the LTS kernel as an option.

29

I confirm, it works with the lts kernel !

Thanks a lot guys

Do you have both kernels installed?

Edit: Just wondered if it boots on either?

31

I have both installed, I can check tomorrow if it boots on the other.

kernel regression time for this device…

33

Both kernel installed but only boot on LTS Kernel

34

Same here, just checked. I have both installed, only LTS boots.

35

I’m on a 2nd gen Framework with a 12th gen Intel CPU. I get the same results. My screen is black but flickers and I can’t get to a TTY session. I can install the LTS kernel, but would rather not. Is there another option?

36

Are you able to post the hardware?

It seems to be there are a lot of issues with 11th gen and 12th gen Intel Iris Xe graphics. I think the issue is related to the the inability to find the bus id and i think a custom xorg is needed possibly in

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Example:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "intel"  # nvidia also has own drivers 
        #   Driver     "modesetting" ...deactivated 
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0" # necessary?
EndSection

This is just my thoughts on this. :thinking: Please refer to the Arch wiki.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/intel_graphics#Xorg_configuration

Edit: It may work on the lts kernel as well.

Edit2: I see you may not want to install the lts kernel. You could also try modesetting by removing the Intel driver. xf86-video-intel If this isn’t satisfactory or doesn’t work i would suggest reinstalling the Intel driver and trying a custom xorg file with the card and bus id as per my example and the Arch wiki.

38

is this it?

39

Yes, that looks to be it. Seems to affect several PCs with Intel graphics.

but 6.0.0 came soon and arch updates to 5.19.13.arch1-1 already.
