Failed to boot with efistub.

Hello,
i created boot entry with command

efibootmgr --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --create --label "Arch Linux" --loader /vmlinuz-linux --unicode 'root=/dev/sda2 rw initrd=\intel-ucode.img initrd=\initramfs-linux.img'

but when pc starts it goes to bios self check and after that turns off.
However, if i boot pc with archlinux boot disk, and select UEFI shell and type

FS0:
/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda2 rw initrd=\intel-ucode.img initrd=\initramfs-linux.img

pc starts normaly. Whats wrong with boot entry?

Re: Failed to boot with efistub.

Does the boot entry persist? Check the output of `efibootmgr -uv`.

Off-topic: /dev/sda1 is the presumed ESP location so the --disk & --part options can be omitted for your machine.
