[SOLVED]Gummiboot cannot boot arch

Hello. I've been reading the wiki guide until the end when i got stuck. I have windows 8 installed with a UEFI mobo so i just used the same ESP for arch. Now i try to boot arch but get a "vmlinuz not found" message. What did i do wrong?

while still on live cd i mounted the EFI partition (/dev/sda2) to /boot (same root and home partition) and then installed and configured gummiboot as described.
Do i have to add that ESP to the fstab file? Or how to fix it?

Load up the Arch live ISO, mount your partitions and use `arch-chroot` then post the output of:

ls /boot
# efibootmgr -v
lsblk -f
# parted -l

You can use `sprunge` to post the output of the commands.

Your ESP isn't mounted. You've probably installed the kernel and Gummiboot to the boot dir of the root partition.

I would clear out the boot dir, mount the ESP, then reinstall/reconfigure the kernel and gummiboot.
