here booting fine

will be possible to install it and after right the installation switching to testing?

that is a plymouth issue. We will ship with the older one which is not so picky about KMS.

Why is it an issue with the latest ISOs though. Shouldn’t these have the “kms” hook already in the mkinitcpio config?

They have but it is still an issue. Only way to fix it is a git-bisect on plymouth with affected system and report it to upstream.

@alven Your hardware combination seems to be unique as for me with AMD graphics having the “kms” hook in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf fixed black screen.

  1. Can you make extra-sure that this is the case for you too, i.e. that on the ISO you downloaded it says kms in the HOOKS array.
  2. Would you be able to a) manipulate the ISO by changing the included plymouth or b) install to the affected hardware and then change the installed plymouth?
