The only problems I have experienced with rEFInd occurred when the new
system files weren't being copied correctly to EFI/arch directory.
Once I overcame that problem it has worked fine.

If you want to avoid to use the livecd, you could install a second 
kernel, like from repo-ck and have it as an altrenative bootoption (I 
also have problems with some kernels here, there is allready a thread on 
that topic).

I can't boot with 3.8-2 again!! linux 3.8-1 is working fine (I booted
from a usb drive in BIOS mode to downgrade), and I'm writing from it,
but 3.8-2 freezes in previous rEFInd message.

I've not tested in BIOS mode, as I'm sure it works, 'cause if not, a new
release fixing problem would have been launched. But I prefer to avoid a
upgrade of one release instead of leaving a bleeding corner (UEFI).
I've done some tests, including adding kernel image directly to NVRAM
via efibootmgr with proper options, and still 3.7.1-2 boots ok, and
3.7.2-1 freezes before any boot message. So, the problem is not with
rEFInd, but with kernel and/or EFI implementation.

I'm having this issue with linux 3.7.2-1 too. I use gummiboot-efi and
file from core (5.11-1). Linux 3.7.1-2 boots ok.

The image of linux 3.7.2-1 builds and is copied to the correct paths. I
tried to remove i915 from MODULES and change the compression back to the
default gzip, but I still can't boot from 3.7.2-1.

My MODULES only has i915, and the HOOKS array is
~~
HOOKS="base udev autodetect plymouth modconf block plymouth-encrypt filesystems 
consolefont usbinput fsck"
~~

I have the same problem (and I don't use *testing*):

When I upgraded to 3.6.11, after rebooting, rEFInd froze at the *rEFInd -
Booting OS* stage and downgrading to 3.6.10 didn't help. I can boot in
BIOS mode though.

No. If so, would the kernel booted and failed to complete boot process
due to mismatch between kernel image/initramfs and installed modules.
But the kernel does not even begin starting, stopping just after option
is selected in rEFInd and message "Starting vmlinuz-linux ...options" of
rEFInd is printed.

Just a thought: Did you forget to copy the generated kernel image of the

Hi, Dave. Thanks for the fast reply.
If you are talking about file-5.12 problem, as I said, initrd (a.k.a.
initramfs) was built properly, since I had downgraded to file 5.11
previously. And I'm subscribed and following discussions in
arch-dev-public. My problem persist, preventing me from upgrade to linux
3.7.2. Any ideas?
