Hi, i'm having an issue during the installation of arch after a shutdown because of trying to install a WLAN card while the computer was running
NOTE: everything before the shutdown was working perfectly
after the shutdown no matter how i flash the USB or what other USB use i get a kernel panic error
here is a photo of the error: https://imgur.com/a/sQ8c2LI
another thing to mention is that i think there is no hardware damage issues because i installed windows XP perfectly after the shutdown
the laptop is an Acer Aspire ONE AO751h with 1GB of RAM and an Intel Atom Z520

The dump shows a generic panic inside a 32-bit system call. This is most likely a bug in the wlan driver.
You can try to boot the machine without wlan enabled and shut it down and see if the error persists.
I have a wlan driver on OLPC-XO-1 which is also randomly segfaulting. This is the problem with
closed source firmware blobs being loaded in the kernel, if they don't work, you have a hard time
to debug, why they are failing..

Sorry, it will sound dumb but i don't know how to diable WLAN on boot, on the bios I found an option to disable network or something like that but Arch is still giving the kernel panic error and Windows XP is still connected to WIFI

You could try here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne/AO751h.
Blacklisting the wlan modules.

I cant edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf file because the kernel panic error, but doing a little search on google I found that adding modprobe.blacklist=ath_pci at the end of the kernel line would blacklist the WLAN kernel module, I added it but is still showing the kernel panic error.
sorry for my bad english
EDIT: I added "debug" at the end of the kernel line, then, recorded a video and slowed it and this is what I found: https://imgur.com/a/2jWnw9e
