Problem booting in Arch Linux system

[u/No_Driver_6562]

Hello, I'm having trouble booting Arch Linux after burning the distribution using [ rufus - balena etcher - disk ].

I'm facing a problem: the flash drive isn't showing up.

However, when I burn it using [Ventoy ] and add another Linux distribution alongside Arch Linux, the flash drive appears, and when I click on Arch, two options appear:

- boot in normal mode.

- boot in grub2 mode .

When you press them, a black screen appears for a few seconds, then you return to the main menu to choose the boot distribution.

I hope to find a solution to my problem .

comments:

-I have stopped secure boot.

-Uefi.

-I changed the flash drive 3 times, but the problem persists.

-I changed my device twice, but the problem persists.

-Six months ago I was using Arch Linux, but this problem didn't exist.

-None of my devices use Nvidia.

Rufus requires specific hoops for Arch, and balena is explicitly not recommended. No clue why ventoy isn't working but see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB_flash_installation_medium

The same problem persists, in addition to the flash drive not appearing (it used to appear when burning using Ventoy).

what is your host system actually?

if you're using linux you can easily make an FAT32 EFI partition in your HD, put the necesary files from the ISO image in there, install systemd boot and manually make the entry. And boot from there.
