I tried downloading the 2012.03.07_04-00-02 core-x86_64 ISO and booting from it, but the boot process froze after a few Nouveau driver errors (photo attached).

My system is a MSI GT780DX laptop with a NVIDIA GTX 570M.

Obviously, the actual issue is something for the Nouveau developers, but I don't think the ArchISO boot should freeze if video drivers fail to initialise.

There is nothing to do here. Please report to upstrem. Workaround booting with such module blacklisted.
