So I have a new arch install that I have been troubleshooting the past few days and it goes into a bootloop unless I add the kernel parameter acpi=off. I was told this probably has something to do with my GPU and that drivers would fix it. I have tried many different times to install drivers and idk if Im doing it wrong or whether that's not the problem. please help I have been doing this for days and have no clue why this is happening. If anyone would help it would be very much appreciated

you are most likely using nvidia and this is honestly a known problem

grand elbow
#

Yeah I am but I installed drivers and all the stuff that people have told me to do and I haven't been able to fix it

#

I can't find a dsdt for my laptop
My bios is up to date
I'm already using acpi=off
And the dpms command that they give won't work

#

The guy told me that the answer is in here but I can't find it and he won't just tell me where it is

#

Honestly don't understand most of it

IN ADDITION TO THE NORMAL NVIDIA INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:

  • Installing the driver package provided by the same person who provided the custom kernel, choosing the DKMS method
  • Adding nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm to the MODULES line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
  • Adding nvidia-drm.modeset=1 ibt=off to the GRUB boot parameters
  • Following section 10 of NVIDIA Tips and Tricks (Arch Wiki) to preserve video memory after suspend
  • Regenerating the initcpio
  • Regenerating the GRUB file
  • Rebooting

probably what hes talking about

#

im pretty sure this works but also not 100% sure

#

So excluding the driver package for the custom kernel I should do this

its worth a shot

#

I'll try it but it's gonna have to be in like 5 hours because I have to sleep

#

I'll come back here when it's done

#

5 hours of sleep?

grand elbow
#

Yep

#

I take naps

fallow raft
#

oh damn

grand elbow
#

How do I add to the grub boot parameters?

#

When I look up grub boot parameters all that pops up is kernel params

Thank you so much
