[SOLVED] iMac 2111 (32-bit EFI) installation

I'm stuck with the installation on a iMac 2111 (http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/i … specs.html) (the white plastic Intel iMacs).
The standard ISO won't boot at all ("Select CD-ROM boot type"-error).
Therefore I built a ISO without UEFI support that I'm now able to boot to the boot loader OS selection screen (where you can choose between: Boot Arch Linux (x86_64), Boot Arch Linux (i686), Boot existing OS, Run Memtest86+ (RAM test), Hardware Information (HDT), Reboot, and Power Off).
There the system freezes completly.

Any ideas how to install ArchLinux on this machine?

Anybody managed to install ArchLinux sucessfully on an 32-bit EFI iMac?

Was quite simple problem: you have to replug the USB keyboard, then it becomes active once more.
