Since quite a while my System boots to a blackscreen occasionally after successfully unlocking my LUKS-encrypted drives. Opening a TTY with CTRL+Alt+Fx is not possible in those cases. Most of the time I am able to boot normally to the usual login screen after resetting the laptop with the on/off s…

You need to run manjaro-chroot using Manjaro Live USB to check and fix your system [image] [Fix] Can’t login - black screen & chroot guide Tutorials Original author on old forum @AlManja If you are stuck and you can’t log into your system, use one of these steps below. T…

Well, the problem only occurs occasionally - as I already stated - and I know how to enter a system with chroot. But this alone does not fix any issues. The system is up-to-date and runs without problems when it boots normally. Or do I get you wrong? What and how do you suggest to fix?

when the freeze happens next time provide logs from the failed boot: journalctl -b-1 -p4 --no-pager together with: inxi -Fazy

[image] fumum_vendidi: How do I put the driver in early load? ok I expect that you are not total new. In general it goes like this: Find the needed modules. inxi -Gazy Edit the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and add the driver names to the modules array. (Order matters) Run mkinitcpio -P to gen…

@megavolt Sorry, I did not mean to let your mind explode. :wink: /etc/mkinitcpio.conf was hidden and so I couldn’t find it at first glance. I edited everything in the way you suggested and hope the issue will be fixed. So far, thank you very much for your help! I hope this boot issue is history …

[image] fumum_vendidi: I edited everything in the way you suggested and hope the issue will be fixed. Well I hope you re-generate the images!? Editing it has zero effect. At least on the next kernel update it will take place…

Yes, I ran mkinitcpio -P. So far, no more blackscreens.

System boots to black screen every now and then
