Hello, I recently setup a new PC and I wanted to install Manjaro plasma on it. However, trying to boot from the flash drive with the image causes the system to hang at either “Starting User Login Management…” or “[ OK ] Reached target Sound Card.”. Since there’s some variance in where it stops, I s…

Can you rule out this particular USB flash drive by trying out another one?

secure boot disabled in bios; fast boot disabled in bios - you may not have this option; fast startup disabled in windows; AHCI enabled in bios - if you have installed win, and you are on RAID, and if you switch to AHCI, you will not be able to boot into win; and use Ventoy to flash the iso

Yes, I did. I have also tried differing USB ports (in particular a USB 3.0 port on the front of my case, and one of the USB 2.0 ports on the motherboard). It did not seem to make a difference though… Maybe it’s important that both drives I used had a capacity in the neighbourhood of 4 gigabytes? I …

Secure boot, fast boot were already disabled, and ACHI was enabled. Mind you, there’s no Windows on this machine, so I’m afraid I cant change fast startup there. (; Thank you for the suggestion to use Ventoy though! It seems like it’d make flashing ISO’s a lot less of a pain.

so we have to try some kernel parameters during booting the usb, here is a link on how to add them; so add this parameter: amdgpu.dc=0 and see if it helped

No dice. Sadly, the behaviour is still the same…

Thank you very much! The first options did not work, but the newer ISO launched!

so try this parameter:
amdgpu.runpm=0
if it doesnt work try this:
amdgpu.runpm=1

if it still doesnt work try download a newer stable iso with the 6.0 kernel from here:

and download both of the zips …
