Install stuck on Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronized

Hello,
Love CachyOS and it works flawlessly on a number of desktops and laptops; my favourite distro. However I’ve a new Zenbook S14 with the Lunar Lake chipset. Kernel 6.11 does boot successfully with Ubuntu 24.10.

With Cachy, install is stuck on 'A start job is running for Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronized (xx sec / no limit) and the seconds turn into minutes and keep ongoing. I’ve tried the first two install options which get stuck here, and the third the no-GPU one gives a kernel panic.

Thank you,
Psio
