So, first, does anyone have actual--and successful--experience installing Arch on a UEFI system?
Yes, I'm using it without major problems for months now.
GummiBoot says it can't find /vmlinuz-linux. I tried modifying the configuration to say /boot/vmlinuz-linux, but no joy. Apparently, I'm really supposed to copy this file and the initrd image to the EFI partition, but nobody says where in the EFI partition, so I have no idea.
The layout I have is as follows (where /boot/efi is my UEFI system partition): /boot/efi/EFI/arch/vmlinuz-linux.efi /boot/efi/EFI/arch/initramfs-linux.img /boot/efi/EFI/arch/initramfs-linux-fallback.img /boot/efi/EFI/gummiboot/gummiboot.efi /boot/efi/loader/loader.conf /boot/efi/loader/entries/arch.conf /boot/efi/loader/entries/arch-fallback.conf And loader/entries/arch.conf reads as follows: title Arch Linux linux /EFI/arch/vmlinuz-linux.efi initrd /EFI/arch/initramfs-linux.img options root=UUID=<UUID of root fs> rootfstype=ext4 ro quiet To automatically copy newly installed kernels and gummiboot loaders, have a look at these links: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI_Bootloaders#Systemd https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gummiboot#Automatic_copy_on_update HTH!
