Are you sure this is the same bug?

I already have working archlinux on same machine which works just fine. It is just that ISO doesn't work fine.

If this is duplicate of #33745, that would mean kernels on ISO and in repos are not same, right?

who knows, you did not provide any detailed information, versions at least.

ISO is version from march.

If you could tell me what information you need I might provide it. Or if there is some kernel flag you want me to pass while in syslinux(if it is syslinux)? But blank screen happens before anything is written to screen.

The kernels on the March ISO and in the repos are not the same, one is a month old and one is current. The bug in question pops up randomly, even with micro version updates.

I suggest to ask in forums for help. I guess something is broken in firmware (EFI) and needs a workaround/quirk in kernel or maybe in bootloader (gummiboot). The is nothing to do with archiso.
