describe the problem

There was an error after attempting "archinstall"

I was installing on an ASUS Sonicmaster laptop

Then I booted linux and archinstall crashed at some point during the installation ...

Everything in "installation log" was all in red.
Everything in Yellow are as follows:

Archinstall experienced the above error. If you think this is a bug, please report it to
https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall and include the log file "var.log/archinstall/install.log

Hint: To extract the log from the live ISO
curl -F 'file=@/var/log/archinstall/install.log' https://0x0.st

I will post what was in the installation log below. Hope that helps. Sorry I am an amateur at this, but I just want my laptop to get untucked plz. thanx.

If there is any solution to this, please let me know what I have to do to fix it, and put in in Leyman terms because I am quite illiterate when it comes to code. the directions may have to be very specific if it requires use of hardware. If it is just an specific code I have to put in, just send me a prompt and I will put in each command as directed.
