[SOLVED] Nouveau preventing me from installing Arch

[spice heart]

I get this screen when I boot into the install ISO, is there any way to fix this? Also another question, at the bottom it says it’s downloading something is that normal? I dont have a ethernet cable so I don’t know how it would be doing that

The messages aren’t only just in the boot up they happen the entire time too

[rich arch]

try to ignore them or find a way to compile live arch without nouvea

[spice heart]

Damn, is the download thing normal?

Last time I installed arch was like 2 years ago and I don’t remember that happening

[rich arch]

nouvea didnt exist 2 years ago or waa very broken

so it was not included

nouvea is ah

it is ok

i remember it not spamming that much

when i installed arch btw

[spice heart]

I think I fixed it, I looked at an old post with a slightly different error I just added modprobe.blacklist=nouveau on the grub thing on the arch install option

[rich arch]

ok

[spice heart]

I won’t have to deal with nouveau post install right? Unless I choose to install it

[rich arch]

it is systemd or syslinux

[rich arch]

it is included in kernel

either blacklist in grub

or remove kms from hooks in mkinitcpio

[spice heart]

Alright, thank you I don’t know if it’s systemd or syslinux

[rich arch]

are u installing with archindtall or with tfm

[rich arch]

the iso boot systemd for uefi and syslinux for bios

[spice heart]

Ohh, when I said arch install I just meant the arch linux install boot option not the script, I’m using uefi so systemd then

[rich arch]

systemd has no bg

did u have no bg in boot options menu

[rich arch]

how are u gonna install arch

[spice heart]

Yeah there was no background, I’m gonna install it the normal way, I did it like that last time

[rich arch]

ok then

if you dont want to deal with nouvea

you need to remove kms from hooks in mkinitcpio

and regen it with sudo mkinitcpio -P

then nouvea wont load

[spice heart]

Okay I’ll do that, I have to add some nvidia modules there anyways so I’ll do that when I do that

[rich arch]

ok
