FAILED Faied to start Wait for Netowrk to be Configured

I am unable to start Garuda Linux.
After booting up, it drops from the dragon circle thing to a black screen that says Failed to start Wait for Network to be Configured.

I'll take a picture and try to include it in my post.

New users cannot upload pictures. I'll type it out.

The only interaction I can perform on my computer when I reach this screen is Ctrl+Alt+Delete, holding my power button to power off the computer, and pressing my power button to power off.

I have tried using the fallback initramfs but it does the same thing.

Hi there, welcome!
Following is a useful tutorial for this type of troubles.

In the meanwhile, it would be useful to have your detailed specs via
inxi-Fza
As text, formatted with 3 ~ before and after.

Ctrl Alt F2 was the ticket to resolving this! I was able to scp my inxi output to my linux mint computer so I can include it here.

the reflector command mentioned in the post you referenced is giving me warning after warning of being unable to rate downloads because the downloads are timing out after 5 seconds.

pacman produced an error about /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy not being permitted to write

WARNING possibly missing firmware for module xhci_pci

same error message for aic94xx, wd719x, and xhci_pci

The warnings and the error above for pcie_aspm are very common, no problem

Please, no pictures from terminal output, so we use the no pictures from forum starter.

If you include terminal outputs in your post please use the proper output format in your post. Using “~” 3 times above and “~” 3 times below the text block will provide a readable, raw look.

You do not read

please
and post terminal in- and output from

inxi -Fza

as text!

Even if you personally think it is unnecessary.

As far as I can say, this is the problem, but I have no experience on Nvidia GPUs

When I was exploring garuda assistant during the install process, I asked it to install proprietary drivers. I used timeshift to roll back the changes and returned to the Garuda login screen.

I apologize for being new and not knowing what to read first.

At least I know how to submit code snippets now.

Did you have trouble using the live usb before installing
