Iptables. Because in the end its iptables, so I learned it from the beginning „the right way“ and i am therefore not locked into one or another

Nah, I run my updates maybe once a week on average. If afterwards something breaks, I simply do a complete Rollback (with e. g. snapshots). If after the next update its still broken, then I start to dig in „what“ is broken and how I might fix it

But as I said, it didn‘t happen to me yet - but I‘m also fairly new to Arch as well, so that‘s at least my plan on how I would go after it.

Rolling release 🤷🏻‍♂️ there might be updates which cause issues where you might need to rollback, if you can handle that it shouldn‘t be a problem.

I‘m using Arch myself since about 2 months and never happened that an update break something for me - when something broke it was my own fault.

Awesome! Will look to register tonight or tomorrow, when I find the time. Thanks for letting me know :)

Ok. I think Im gonna test it out aswell once migration is done

So the migration to mbin is done or just wanted to fix that first anyways? ^^

Its working since months, so I guess you have the drivers installed. For me I needed the „wayland-protocols“ package to work on my RTX3070
And the obvious once others have pointed out, the kernel parameters

@darth
did test that as well, but didn't help as the kernel didn't boot up at all.
In the end, after also trying to reach out to ASUS Support (and ofc without any proper solution from their side), I did replace my custom built, noname, (trash) motherboard and now it works flawless.

So, I think it was something with the ACPI/DSDT Tables f'd up on the old MoBo and ASUS just couldn't (or didn't want to) fix that...

Alright, no worries! Appreciate you trying to help, thank you

Yep, saw this entries already and tried with it. To no change unfortunately.
Did some research and also found the suggest to try with
acpi=noirq noapic
but also tried to no change.

Regarding the BIOS options, I did also check for these options, bug they simply aren‘t there 🤷🏻‍♂️ but will look again after those. Got told that this error might be due to the acpi=off thingy

there you go:
https://pastebin.com/kNFqya2L

taken with acpi=off boot.
Since without acpi=off it's not possible to boot and there is absolutely no output after grub (as if the kernel wouldn't load at all) there simply nothing to show ...

Sure. The whole output or something like dmesg -T --level=emerg,alert,crit,err,warn ?

Well the startup kernel messages. Looking for something specific?

ok took me 3 days to test, apologies :D
but unfortunately, no, doesn't work. Even the "old" iso stucks at the exact same position with the exact same behavior :(

got some news. I don't think, that it might change something, but who knows.
I added in grub the option "insmod progress" (which I found by googling somewhere). It should show, if kernel and initrd do load or not and now I can see, that the vmlinuz and initrd are loading to 100% and after that it hangs. So it looks like the kernel loads but then stucks.
As said before, I don't think that this might change something in regards to further tests with my actual mobo, but I didn't want to left that out ...

@Guenther_Amanita

One last question, what would you suggest for looking up which hardware (mobo in general) would play nice (or at least at all) with linux? Is linux-hardware.org the way to go?

@Guenther_Amanita
I don‘t know about the perfectly fine piece of hardware if it‘s making me so much trouble 🤣 but thank you for your opinion on this, appreciate it

Oh I absolutely can relate haha
Maybe one day I‘ll be here asking dumb questions again, watch out 😁

Alright, no worries! You invested so much time and effort trying to help me out, I can‘t thank you enough for that, really really appreciate it much!

Yeah I already got one in mind and looked it up on linux-hardware.org - any other option I‘d have to make sure the next one is alright? (Besides socket and compatibility with my other hw)

Thank you.

The only way I got it working was again with acpi=off and with the 3 I just land on the CLI?

Wow thank you so much for keeping up on it!

I tried the earlyprintk options, but unfortunately none of them did work. Neither did the orher acpi options show up something, I do still have the exact same behaviour :(

I will work through the troubleshoot link you pasted, thank you as well for that.

Appreciate your help, I guess I‘ll start thinking about replacing the mobo

No worries, at least you tried and I‘m grateful for it.

One last thing: so you would also go for mobo replacement? In my opinion its uefi/bios and a new mobo should help, but I like having more opinions…

Thank you again for trying

@onlinepersona

Unfortunately no output at all. Only when changing parameters in grub and booting from there with F10/CTRL+X I get a line saying „booting a command line“ on which it stays forever without anything happening.
Nothing else I tried as parameter helped up until now, but will work through the links you provided, thank you.

yeah, that's the reason I am so desperate ... I understand, so maybe about time to look around for a new mobo?
anyways, I wanted to thank you very much for your time and effort in figuring out and trying to help me, I really do appreciate it very much!

as you can see, absolutely nothing happens or shows up. (still uploading rn, should be available shortly)

@Guenther_Amanita
Thanks for your opinion and and assessment - what d‘you think would make sense to replace? MoBo, graphics,…?

yeah, already played around with VirtualBox and WSL, but there are use-cases (e.g. in gaming) where just an emulation can't really show what's possible and what not, that's why I would love to have the dualboot, so I can reliably test everything without any excuses like "runs probably bad because of emulation"

appreciate it, thank you

Thanks for taking the time to comment - yes, did test that already. I even tried (responding to an answer on one of my reddit posts) by effectively removing the PCIE Nvidia card and tried to boot like that without any success unfortunately.

Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m not complaining at all, in contrary, I am enormous grateful for any help I get.
I posted alread in reddit as well - subreddits r/Nobara, r/linux4noobs and r/linuxquestions
Asus-Linux has a thready-like area in their discord „general-issues“, where I made the thread…

At first it is to learn how everything behaves, test my use-cases to see, if linux could become an all-dayer for me - that would be the main goal - until then the dual-boot to have a fallback option.

yeah ... as you can see in one of my other comments, I already joined the asus-linux discord and asked the "same" question (really, nearly with the exact same words...) and got , unfortunately, absolutely no reaction to it (besides on comment about "you need to disable the nouveau driver")...

Yes, secure boot is set to Other OS - if set otherwise there’s a message after grub that secure boot is active, so pretty sure about that.

Unfortunately it doesn‘t show anything, even with no parameters at all. The only thing that shows up when changing the grub parameters is the „booting a command line“ message which stays there forever, nothing happens.
I‘ll record it with my phone when I get home later on today with the nomodeset parameter.

Unfortunately nothing. Did install - reboot with acpi=off, reboot with no acpi parameter, reboot with acpi=off

Dmesg shows for the boot=-1 the first boot after install with acpi=off

No log for the try without acpi parameter 😢😢

Booting with acpi=off shows many logs with „IRQ not found for nvidia …“ (in the meaning, not wordly).

Edit: can‘t find an irq for your nvidia card

Edit 2: found a boot.log file. When trying to boot without acpi=off then no log is written, the bootprocess doesn‘t even start. From this point of view I‘d guess a Problem with UEFI. Still no idea what and where, but it‘s not graphics related if the bootprocess doesn‘t start at all… what d‘you think?

Will have look into it and try it out, but will need some time. Will defo reply back once tested 👍🏻 thank you!

I tried so many parameter, that i can‘t remember anymore everyone ^^ but tried just now, unfortunately no change, same behavior

Yeah thank you, I really hope we‘ll get some progress.

(Not doing it on purpose, it‘s just how kbin behaves 😅 really thinking about dropping it and give lemmy a try. Originally decided for kbin because I wanted both worlds but since the behaviour is so strange …yeah 😉)

@lemmyreader
Thank you for the suggestion, I really do appreciate anyone who could have a clue what could go wrong and takes the time trying to help me out.

Yeah, Ventoy is the latest I had to burn the ISOs on the USB and stayed with it since :)

@rufus
Alright, will try later and report back the outcome / pastebin if I can grab it

@lemmyreader

tried just right now. I get „booting a command list“ and nothing more, stays like that and USB Devices seem to be off.
