path_to_kernel on the "linux path_to_kernel" line has to be relative
to the ESP mount and the kernel name must be correct.

I mount the ESP on "/boot"

# findmnt -n --output TARGET,SOURCE,FSTYPE /boot
/boot  /dev/sda1 vfat

so this is my primary gummiboot entry

# cat /boot/loader/entries/4.0.0.conf
title 4.0.0
options root=UUID=b51ee688-137c-47ec-9635-b69434b4e1f8 ro
init=/lib/systemd/systemd
linux /vmlinuz-4.0.0-rc1
initrd /initramfs-4.0.0-rc1

The kernel file should be in your ESP and you need to give the full name,
so something like

linux /vmlinuz-3.16-15-gentoo

Here's a config I use, as an example

title   MythTV
version 3.18.7-gentoo
linux   /vmlinuz-3.18.7-gentoo
options root=/dev/sda3 panic=10 net.ifnames=0 irqpoll

If at first you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment.

Verify that you have the file vmlinuz in the root of /dev/sda3

What is you problem? Does EFI find anything to boot? Is gummiboot failing to 
find kernel? Or is kernel failing to boot or find root disk? What is the 
content of the UEFI partition's (0xEF00) /EFI-directory and /EFI/BOOT-directory?
