I am in a tad bit of a problem . I am trying to install ArchLinux on my new Acer Aspire V5 https://i.stack.imgur.com/buEOM.jpg . I have made my OS usb bootable using software from pendriveinux.com . I have used their software in the past and had success in installing Archlinux in my old laptop also from Acer . My last laptop was 3 years old .
After inserting the usb , I can see the bootup screen, where I get to choose from 64 bit and 32 bit architecture . On clicking any one of the options , I am greeting a screen that says that the kernel loading . However , after that the screen goes blank even though the laptop is on.
Someone in the Archlinux community on Google Plus said that there is a problem with secure booting , that is enabled on uefi mode . But as I fa as I know my laptop runs on legacy bootloader and there is no problem with secure booting .
Anybody came across this problem before ?
nomodeset
to the kernel options?
