Hello,

Arch Linux installation ISO did not boot with UEFI

Steps to reproduce:

Thinkpad X240, latest BIOS/UEFI installed v2.26
create an USBkey with dd from Arch Linux installation ISO : archlinux-2014.10.01-dual.iso
Set bios in "UEFI Only" "CSM Support":No Secure Boot: Disabled
boot from the USBkey get the menu:
- Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI CD
- UEFI Shell x86_64 v2
- ...

Select "Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI CD" -> blank screen
Type edit (with e) the line and add
- video=SVIDEO-1:d -> blank screen
- video=VGA-1:1280x800 -> blank screen
- nomodeset i915.modeset=0 -> blank screen

run the uefi shell v2: "UEFI Shell x86_64 v2"
Shell > fs0:
FS0:\ > cd \EFI\archiso
FS0:\arch\boot\> vmlinuz.efi initrd=\EFI\archiso\archiso.img
-> hang

run the uefi shell v1: "UEFI Shell x86_64 v1"
Shell > fs1:
FS1:\ > cd \EFI\archiso
FS1:\arch\boot\> vmlinuz.efi archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=ARCH_201410 initrd=\EFI\archiso\archiso.img
-> hang

run the uefi shell v2: "UEFI Shell x86_64 v2"
Shell > fs0:
FS0:\ > cd \EFI\archiso
FS0:\arch\boot\> vmlinuz.efi i915.modeset=1 initrd=\EFI\archiso\archiso.img
-> hang
FS0:\arch\boot\> vmlinuz.efi nomodeset initrd=\EFI\archiso\archiso.img
-> hang

it is probably not related but, I'm surprise from UEFI Shell to see archiso.img and vmlinuz.efi in \EFI\archiso\ folder
because if I mount the USBkey from Arch Linux installation ISO: archlinux-2014.10.01-dual.iso
I get this:

# pwd
/root/ARCH_201410
[root@spinoza ARCH_201410]# tree EFI/
EFI/
├── archiso
│   └── efiboot.img
├── boot
│   ├── bootx64.efi
│   ├── HashTool.efi
│   └── loader.efi
├── shellx64_v1.efi
└── shellx64_v2.efi

So efiboot.img and not archiso.img in archiso folder and no vmlinuz.efi on it.

And in arch/boot/x86_64/ a vmlinuz but no vmlinuz.efi

[root@spinoza ARCH_201410]# tree arch/boot/x86_64/
arch/boot/x86_64/
├── archiso.img
└── vmlinuz

Looks like a hardware issue. Please ask in forums to support request. There is nothing to do with archiso. You can test the new ISO with Linux 3.17.1

I'll will test on new ISO with Linux 3.17.1

Please report to upstream. There is nothing to do here. Thanks.
