Installing Artix s6 from USB, ACPI error.

01 October 2023, 00:56:25

So, I downloaded the Artix s6 plasma iso (not the weekly) and put it on a USB than move it to a Windows laptop, there the ISO was actually ISO archive file type (IDK If that matter) than with Rufus, I flashed the ISO to the USB. Reboot, changed the bios so that it's the first priority booter.

Now, that screen popped up, where you can change the language, time, keyboard layout, etc. than clicked on Boot(?) from cd/dvd/..

And here is the problem.
It says before even booting to the desktop environment:

[0.180991] ACPI Error: Needed type [Reference], found [Integer] (___ptrval____) (date/exresop-64)
[0.181007]ACPI Error: AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE. While resolving operands for [Store] (date/dswexes-433)
and another one of this saying "aborthing methood due to previos error"

Than it runs Udev.

Pleas Pleas Pleas, help. I have been sitting here for 6 hours, I can't help it no matter what I do. Have downloaded the ISO many times, change this and that, I don't know what to do.

change this and that

If you you've already "changed this and that" it does help to explain what this and that you've already tried.

Could well be a flaky UEFI / BIOS on your laptop. Are there updates to it available ?
Search for "your exact laptop model + linux + acpi error" to see if there are others with the same issue and possible workarounds. Sometimes a kernel setting can be changed.
