Black Screen | Unresponsive system | First Boot

System details

Lenovo Yoga C940, Intel Iris GPU + Core i7

What's wrong?

I am trying to test if Omarchy works for me, so I tried installing on a spare external SSD. I completed the 3.1 Omarchy setup wizard.
When booting onto the omarchy install:

• the "Omarchy" asci art shows
• I can log in with my password
• loading bar progresses completely (nice and reasonable speed)
• Blank screen
• No response from device at all, even caps lock does not illuminate

Some troubleshooting:

• Left for an hour, still nothing
• Rebooted, same issues
• Plugged SSD in different ports, no improvment
• Plugged External SSD into a different device to boot from, Omarchy desktop shows fine

UPDATE: I was able to get into Omarchy on my Lenovo by installing a LTS Linux Kernel version.

Is this a fresh install? Or had you install a different shell or munged with bashrc or the like?

have same problem. it started immediately after installation, and I never got past the password entry screen - then I got a black screen

Yes, fresh install using a USB .iso from omarchy.org v3.1. I have been running on the LTS Kernel for a day now, no problems associated to that, from what I have seen.

@dhh loving the system, appreciate the effort you put into this! First time use of Arch for me, and you showed up with this distribution just when I was about to pull the trigger on fedora for my main driver. still loads to learn...

It would appear this may be an issue with the latest Kernel and this device specifically if it worked on LTS kernel.

This issue also occurred to me on the latest Ubuntu Virtual Box 7.2.4v after installing Omarchy 3.1.7 iso.

Screenshots of journalctl log seems similar to the bug #3088 mentioned.
