[SOLVED]Can't boot mac air mid-2012 (GPT,EFISTUB,rEFInd,LUKS,LVM2)

Partition scheme:
/dev/sda/
    - /dev/sda1: /boot/efi, 512M
    - /dev/sda2: /boot, 100M
    - /dev/sda3: lvm partition (/, var, home)
+ lvm on luks.

install from usb: dd if=archlinux-2012-08-04.iso of=/dev/sdX

Installation steps:
- boot from usb with noapic parameter
- partition
- encrypt /dev/sda3
- partitioning on /dev/sda3 (/,var,home)
- mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sda1; mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda2; mkswap /dev/arch/swap; mkfs.ext4 /dev/arch/root; mkfs.ext4 /dev/arch/home; mkfs.reiserfs /dev/arch/var
- mount /dev/arch/root /mnt; mkdir /mnt/{boot,home,var,boot/efi}; mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot; mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi; mount /dev/arch/home /mnt/home; mount /dev/arch/var /mnt/var
- pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
--- SETTING EFISTUB: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … up_EFISTUB
---

/boot/efi/EFI/arch/linux.conf
root=/dev/mapper/arch-root ro rootfstype=ext4 add_efi_memmap initrd=\EFI\arch\initramfs-linux.img

- pacman -Syy; pacman -Rdd sysvinit; pacman -S systemd-vcompat; pacman -S systemd-arch-units; pacman -Rns initscripts
--- Sync EFISTUB Kernel in UEFISYS partition using Systemd: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … ng_Systemd
--- Booting EFISTUB: pacman -S refind-efi-x86_64
----

/boot/efi/EFI/arch/refind_linux.conf
"Boot with defaults" "root=/dev/mapper/arch-root ro rootfstype=ext4 add_efi_memmap"
"Boot to Terminal"   "root=/dev/mapper/arch-root ro rootfstype=ext4 add_efi_memmap 3"

---- Native systemd configuration files: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … tion_files
- arch-root /mnt; ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Athens /etc/localtime; locale-gen; mkinitcpio -p linux; passwd; reboot
+++ and result: white screen without output +++
my english is very bad, forgive me.
i'm wong or miss something?

EDIT 1: /etc/mkinitcpio.conf : HOOKS=....encrypt lvm2 filesystem.....
