Additionally;
Booting with UEFI now has different results.

UEFI will either-
boot fine. perfect resolution, and x works
or, UEFI will
boot TERRIBLY!!! it does the udev stuff when opening both text mode and graphic mode, then the display shuts off and all i see are black pixels. It is good to note that the black pixels are not off, they are on, but they are all just black.
However, linux is actually running, just without a display being used. i was able to log in and type "poweroff" using muscle memory.

In your APPEND boot parms try adding reboot=cold .

Can you replace kernel to 6.6.18

This one boots fine for me both in Porteux/Nemesis (AMD Ryzen 7/Renoir gpu). Thanks!

Adding reboot=cold didnt do anything, unfortunately.

in bios mode
Running DISPLAY=:0 will make startx work after some time
will post updates
i am getting farther

If you are running in the Always Fresh mode the only thing that changes between boots is RAM. The hardware doesn't change, the software doesn't change, the OS doesn't change. That's why using the reboot=cold cheatcode is useful and should be used everytime to help debug booting problems.

hi, so you have a vega6 gpu on your ryzen,but amdgpu module have the vega10 support and also other vega,on kernel the amdgpu is listed like m you have to load first,maybe is useless but have you tried to start another virtual desktop with ctrl F2 or F3 and the software inxi is a better way to know hardware system in terminal inxi -Fxxxz
