I have a Supermicro server and since last month archiso doesn't work anymore.
The 2020.04 iso did boot fine but the 2020.05 and 2020.06 boots up but doesn't show the prompt. I just get a cursor that blinks and nothing more. When I switch to other ttys there is also just the blinking cursor. I don't know what I can do to further debug this.
My hardware is a Supermicro X11SSH-LN4F with a Xeon E3-1275v6.
Hi Ricardo, hm, that's an odd one. Are you sure that you have been booting 2020.06? There has been a bug related to dhcpcd [1], that led to archiso not booting correctly [2]. However, I since have replaced dhcpcd with systemd-networkd as the default on the image (which currently due to DNSSEC related configuration options still has its own problems, but I digress). This change is on the 2020.06 image and others have reported this to work for them. If you can, attach a debug shell (add `systemd.debug-shell=1` to your kernel cmdline parameters by editing the boot entry) and get some more info on what is going wrong.
