Hi all, in October I purchased my Ultranote V (i7, 8GB Corsair, Intel HDU, SSD Adata and Intel wifi 9260) and I installed Arch Linux, after deleting win10 preinstalled.
But, unfortunatelly, I noticed a black screen issue, with all kernels newer than 4.18.16. The only kernel that works fine is just this one (4.18.16).
So I stuck with this old kernel and I can't upgrade it.
I reported a bug here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/60841
It turns out that the wifi card (Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9260 (rev 29), doesn't work with newer kernels.
I wanted just pointing out this issue, just in case anyone is going to install Arch Linux in his new laptop.
Bye

Sorry cannot help with wifi issue but one point from your bug post. Unless Arch is different to other issues you should be able to open a tty terminal from a black screen with ctrl+alt+f2, then log in and type reboot.

He solved by upgrading his kernel to 4.18, that's the same kernel that works, as I mentioned earlier, but you can't upgrade to 4.20.x
