Ive just installed a fresh new instance of arch-linux on my old iMac. Unfortunately, the apple default efi bootloader isn't be able to load the efi-entry.

My partitions are:

#1 EFI
#2 Mac OS X
#3 Rescure Mac
#4 boot (my /boot-partition for linux)
#5 encrypted

partition 5 is my enrypted partition, which contains the lvm volume-group which contains 3 partitions (root, home and swap).

I've mounted efi (#1) on /boot/efi. In boot, there is my kernel-image vmlinuz-linux. In /boot/efi/loader/entries/arch-encrypted.conf, I've edited the file so the option "linux" has /vmlinuz-linux. Now it looks like that:

title          Arch Linux
linux          /vmlinuz-linux
initrd         /initramfs-linux.img
options        encrypteddevice=UUID=<UUID of partition #5>:lvm root=/dev/mapper/vg--base-lv--root quiet rw

But now when Im rebooting my system, arch isn't booting but an error message will get printed containing "\vmlinuz-linux can't be found".

I guess this is so because the linux-image is located on an different partition but this efi-entry points to the efi-partition where the entry is located itselv.

Can anybody help me with this please?
