Recently has been released version 6 of Memtest86+ which finally introduce UEFI support.

Now, I use systemd-boot as boot manager, so I'd like to launch memtest86+ directly at boot. I set up a configuration file /boot/loader/entries/memtest.conf as described here [1]:

title     Memory Tester (memtest86+)
efi       /memtest86+/memtest.efi

With no luck! It results in a blank screen.
Help me: What I do wrong?

I am on Arch Linux w/ memtest86+-efi [2] 6.00-2

UPDATE1: reported the issue in Arch Linux bug tracker [3]
