"Console freeze" when installing Arch Linux, how to solve this problem?

Question

linux

Hello. I recently decided to install Arch Linux. New to Arch Linux, I've tried Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Elementary OS, and quite a bit of Fedora before. After creating a bootable flash drive using USBWriter and an Arch Linux image downloaded from the official site, I rebooted the laptop, went into the BIOS (not UEFI / EFI), set the boot from the flash drive, saved the settings. After rebooting the laptop, a small menu appeared, where I selected the item "Boot Arch Linux (x86_64)" and pressed Enter. After that, magic happened :) and I saw the console. For the first 10 seconds, everything works great, but then the cursor stops moving, I can’t write or do anything, even the laptop’s power button doesn’t work. And all this happens only on a laptop, using the same bootable USB flash drive, on a stationary PC - everything works "as it should" and no hangups are observed. How can this problem be solved, and is it possible at all? Notebook - HP Pavilion G6 1124er (AMD A6 3400M, Radeon HD 6520G). Arch Linux from 2016.05.01.

Answer 1

Perhaps this version is not compatible with your laptop (there are some conflicting drivers). In the bootloader, you can specify in the parameters which drivers to disable. Most likely a problem with the video - try specifying a specific video mode in the parameters and setting it in console mode. (Although arch is already set in console mode)

Answer 2

Arch's ideology is all in your hands. In your own.
Disable power management first.
