I love you guys!!! Thank you everyone. I was so scared. But atlast the problem got solved. I learnt a lot today. I read many things rather than youtubing. Thank you so much guys for helping me grow. learn as well as fix my own problem mentality giving.

so if anyone other than me faces the same problem-

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Edit GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= "quiet splash"don’t touch others

to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet i8042.nopnp=1 pci=nocrs"
Now save and exit.
Run

sudo update-grub

The next steps will be to patch the kernel

Now run git clone https://github.com/pavlepiramida/elan_i2c_dkms.git
After that install make and dkms, so run

sudo pacman -S make dkms

Now run

cd elan_i2c_dkms

After that run

sudo dkms install .
