Details

Description: systemd-boot (formerly known as gummiboot) hangs after any keypress on Razer Blade 14" 2015. This occurs on a fresh install and even on the archiso bootable usb. I can either move the selection up or down or select the top item. If I select the top-item or wait for the timeout the system boots successfully. If I press down, the selection changes but then boot menu locks up


Additional info:
Currently reproducing on 222-1 but I've had this issue since the device came out. I know the details are sparse but I'm happy to follow any suggestions for debugging.


Steps to reproduce:
Boot from archiso on Razer Blade 14" 2015
Attempt to select the second boot option
Experience hang.

This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  Not a packaging bug. Either this is a hardware issue, or something for upstream systemd to solve.

I have the same bug booting Arch Linux ISO (2016-05-01 x86-64) on an Asus T100HA.
After booting on USB key, the Arch boot menu is displayed with the countdown.
=> If no key pressed, boot after the countdown reach 0
=> If "Enter" key is pressed, boot immediatly
=> If "down arrow" key is pressed, the menu selector go on the second choice and then freeze, like if keyboard was disabled. But keyboard is still working because pressing CRTL+ALT+DEL will reset the PC.
They are similar problems on forums:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=208710
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=202406
The later one may indicate that the problem may be related to fastboot (that I can't disable in my UEFI)...
Booting with grub works properly thus.
