Short description
Right after selecting the *ArchLinux
option on the GRUB menu my screen shows:
1st:
Load linux-lts
Load initial ramdisk
2nd: The motherboard brand and there it stucks for eternity. Here the keyboard lights up but I can’t change to tty.
Precedents
Short after starting Chromium I had troubles loading pages (ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED
) and after searching for a week the last thing to do was follow this instruction from the wiki:
Adding
ipv6.disable=1
to the kernel line disables the whole IPv6 stack, which is likely what you want if you are experiencing issues. See Kernel parameters for more information.
Ref. IPv6 - ArchWiki
So I ended up editing my /etc/default/grub
to uncomment the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
line and add the ipv6.disable=1
configuration. At this point, I made two rookie mistakes:
- I did not take note of the steps I followed, so I’m not sure that I really applied those changes.
- I did not immediately test whether that configuration worked.
Later that day, I had a power outage on my apartment and right after booting again problems began.
