nouveau error while booting arch

I dual booted arch linux with window 8.1. After installation, while booting for the first time, this error occurred.

Here is the error I found.
{ [0.063411] Ignoring BGRT: Invalid status 0 (expected 1)

The following steps helped me resolve a similar issue.

1. add the boot parameter 'nomodeset' to grub at boot. To do this, press e over the Linux option on the grub menu. Then add 'nomodeset' before the 'quiet splash'.
2. Press Ctrl+X or F10 to continue booting.

This stops the graphics driver from getting loaded prior to booting into Linux.

If this doesn't work, remove the 'quiet splash' so you can inspect the messages at boot.

In my case, one of my drives had errors that needed fsck to fix. Fixing the drive errors let me boot without issues. Hope this helps someone.
