Howdy, I have a Thinkpad X1 Carbon latest generation. I'm dual booting Windows 8.1 and Arch in UEFI mode. Windows is encrypted with Bitlocker and Arch with LUKS and LVM. Everything had been working perfectly for weeks. I followed this guide to set it up, adjusting for partition numbers, ciphers and the Windows stuff, etc. [http://www.brandonkester.com/tech/2014/ … -uefi.html]
My default is to load Arch. Today when I turned the computer on, I simply see the message "Error loading \vmlinuz-linux: Unsupported" and then that clears and it jumps to what I believe is a boot menu from Gummiboot showing:
Arch Linux
Windows Boot Manager
EFI Default Loader
Reboot Into Firmware Interface
Choosing Arch just does the same thing over and over. Choosing Windows works fine, I get into the Bitlocker screen and then Windows.
I thought maybe something happened to the Gummiboot stuff, so I booted up with the Arch install USB, mounted up the root and boot partitions, arch-chrooted, checked the /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf file (which appears to be correct):
options cryptdevice=UUID=<correct UUID for LVM volume>:lvm:allow-discards resume=/dev/mapper/vol0-lv_swap root=/dev/mapper/vol0-lv_root rw quietand did a gummiboot update. Then I checked the mkinitcpio.conf file which was correct and ran mkinitcpio -p linux.
Same problem ... any suggestions on where to go with this? I had run a pacman -Syu a few days ago, and got the 4.0.1 kernel, but the system was working fine after that.
thanks!

I found the problem. Somehow, something happened to the kernel image and corrupted it. On a whim I re-installed the package, getting 4.0.1-1 again and after that the system boots fine again.
No idea what happened to it, there were no crash events or bad dismounts etc. that I know of. I guess Windows might have done something.
Thanks!
