https://bbs.archlinux.org – Been going at this all night.  I just used UEFI shell v2 to add a boot entry for Arch Linux that points to: \EFI\arch\vmlinuz-arch.efiWhen I choose this option I just get a blank screen and then the computer does nothing else.Could it be the vmlinuz-arch.efi file?    The vmlinuz-arch.efi file originates from /boot/vmlinuz-linux by following the directions located here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … ing_rEFInd tonysoprano https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=67712 2013-02-10T05:06:10Z (HowTos)

Logical partitions means it's MBR-formatted and not GPT-formatted.For UEFI boot, GPT is recommended.https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … n_in_LinuxNote: It is recommended to use always GPT for UEFI boot as some UEFI firmwares do not allow UEFI-MBR boot.
