System boot hangs after kernel & nvidia update

General system

After today’s update EOS gets stuck after the check disk prompt, same issue w/ any other kernels including LTS & ZEN. It just stuck and the cursor flashes, there are no glitches on the screen …
I had to do a restore via timestamp,

probably need legacy driver from the aur 470 legacy ?

card is a kepler?

Your Nvidia card is not supported by the new driver. You have to switch to nouveau or use Nvidia 470 in AUR.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 630

Is indeed now legacy and not compatible with default Nvidia packages from Arch anymore.

Thank you very much, works very well!
How about nvidia-installer-db & nvidia-installer-dkms should I keep them or can I remove this stuff?

I guess Manjaro will run into the same problem (I use it as a backup system) and there are currently no sources available to the AUR nvidia-470xx packages …

Manjaro should be fine they use their own hardware detection and their own repo i think.

7

is this caused by a hook or did I missed to remove something?
this message is shown on reboot or update check when new kernels are available

==> eos-kernel-nvidia-update-check: error: ‘linux’ would be upgraded but ‘nvidia’ not.

yes ignore the message… as you now use the 470xx packages…
Message will get removed soon…
