BTW your blank screen is related to kms (late or early) or it just goes blank.

Hello,
Arch Linux installation ISO did not boot with UEFI on my X240.
Thinkpad X240, latest BIOS/UEFI installed v2.26
I Create an USBkey with dd from Arch Linux installation ISO : archlinux-2014.10.01-dual.iso
I Set bios in "UEFI Only" "CSM Support":No Secure Boot: Disabled
Then boot from the USBkey get the menu:
- Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI CD
- UEFI Shell x86_64 v2
- ...Select "Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI CD" -> blank screen
I did put more details here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42605
What video card do you have enabled?
Try appending "nomodeset" and "noapic" to the kernel line before you boot (you should be able to hit 'e' to edit the entry before booting).
