After upgrading from gummitboot 6 to 7 all I get is a black
screen with a cursor on it.. Before the upgrade I had a menu
and could boot. I down graded back to gummiboot-efi-6 and it
works again.
My partition layout is: /boot/efi/ gummiboot.efi vmlinuz-linux.efi initramfs-linux.img are here. /boot/efi/loader/loader.conf /boot/efi/loader/entries/arch.conf and arch-fallback.conf /boot/efi/loader/entries/arch.conf title Arch Linux linux /vmlinuz-linux.efi initrd /initramfs-linux.img options root=LABEL=root ro pcie_aspm=force fbcon=scrollback:128k add_efi_memmap ASUS p8Z68-v Pro mobo Corei7, AMI UEFI ver 3204 Thanks for the attention, Dennis |

So if installed for the repos or built on my system they fail.
Here is the patch
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gummiboot/commit/?id=3086905eaaed65c681ce2b62b309b6c5c4d99a3a
v6 and a v7 sent to me by the developer still work as expected.
However, I still have the issue that no entries are present, so only the defaults can be chosen (EFI default loader, EFI shell, Windows bootloader). So I can't boot Arch with gummiboot, unfortunately.
I tried adding some debug Print()s, however everything I change makes the machine lock up immediately :/ Not sure what's the best way to debug this...
