Thanks! It's nice (or maybe not...) to know that this is a problem with only the EFI stub loader. I do have a standalone grub entry which I haven't used in ages. I guess I will just add that to the gummiboot menu as a fallback and wait for the next kernel update. On 9 July 2014 23:43, Mike

I believe the problem is with the stub loader and not the boot manager (going by bug reports on both the arch linux bugtracker and on kernel.org) but thanks anyway! On 10 July 2014 11:14, arnaud gaboury arnaud.gabo...@gmail.com wrote: On 9 July 2014 23:43, Mike Cloaked mike.cloa...@gmail.com

[arch-general] Gummiboot and EFISTUB booting irregularities
