Manjaro hangs on Dell logo during boot

I’ve got the same problem, although the weird thing is that if I switch to another TTY and then back again, it continues booting just fine. For example, when I get stuck on the Dell logo, I can press: Ctrl + Alt + F2 followed by Ctrl + Alt + F1. The Dell logo then disappears and it shows the display manager like it should.

This is without any doubt a consequence of your CPU developing too little entropy at boot time. Install haveged and you will be fine.

sudo pacman -Syyu haveged
sudo systemctl enable haveged --now
