Am I missing something? After going through the Manjaro installation process, turning on the computer and selecting the operating system in the grub menu, it never allows me to boot successfully. I even reinstalled the os and same result. It always says something like this when booting... 😒

Should mention, it's Manjaro GNOME 17.1

Probable hard disk failure

@shaji You think so? Installing other Linux distros makes the computer run fine

@coder67 then as much as I like Manjaro, I'd just use another distro

I often get stuck on the first boot around the step Mounting /home

I'm running vanilla arch that boots into console.

Usually a second boot goes well. From what I read so far, the most likely culprit is a race condition in systemd on laptops with realtek chipset... It used to take me 4-5 reboots whilst I had systemd 232 but now it's much better.

Another gut feeling observation is that it usually gets stuck on first boot if pacman update kernel or nvidia drivers :) not point fingers, just trying to save you hours of try/catch work :)

Kudos for giving Arch a go!!! 🤙
