tried booting 4.17 with all deepin packs uninstalled.
it couldn't boot.
Deepin is not the issue here. Our development editions have newer kernels pre-installed. Maybe the live-ISO may boot. Also what is the output of mhwd and mhwd -lh?

So maybe the xorg config fails to know my BusId address of my graphics card?
The question is rather what the exact issue is. Any kernel beyond 414 doesn't boot into a graphical environment, but you're still able to boot into a TTY (console)? Checked already the Arch Wiki about AMDGPU ?
I set 3 on boot config in grub. I couldn't get into linux 417 into No-GUI mode.
The only thing that the wiki page may explain is that maybe the screen depth is totally incompatible with my drivers on recent versions of linux? Or that maybe the Xorg configs just doesn't work on newer versions of linux? Other than checking if my drivers are installed, i don't see any other part of the wiki page that is related to my problem.
EDIT: i can't boot into the iso-live beta version of manjaro. What is going on?
curiously enough, the only config text file i see in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ is keyboard.conf
How is your monitor connected? I had a similar issue with a VGA connection, but DVI / HDMI worked.
I have a VGA connection. Are you telling me i have to buy a DVI/HDMI connection to use newer versions of linux? Why?
Try to add the kernel parameter amdgpu.dc=0
Take a look on my topic
Why? I have no idea why VGA doesn't work with DC enabled.
sorry, but how do i add the kernel parameter? in grub?
Edit /etc/default/grub, the parameter to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet amdgpu.dc=0"
Then run sudo update-grub

OMG IT WORKED! Thank you so much. Who thought the responsible of all of this is the VGA? Could a patch resolve that issue in the future for future AMD users with the same problem as i? I can't thank you enough!

There are several bug reports with AMDGPU and DC with a VGA connection: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=amdgpu%20dc%20vga
Let's hope they can fix it.

I had the same issue with manjaro deepin and vfs_monitor
maybe this one helps: Kernel 4.17, systemd-modules-load.service is failed to start
