[SOLVED]rEFInd cannot find loader file(btrfs subvolume)

I followed the arch wiki for boot from btrfs subvolume as root

my refind config

menuentry "Arch Linux" {
    icon     /EFI/refind/icons/os_arch.png
    volume   "archlinux"
    loader   /@/boot/vmlinuz-linux
    initrd   /@/boot/initramfs-linux.img
    options     "root=PARTUUID=11c62a03-e8df-43ca-bfce-b4e111509938 rw rootflags=subvol=@  nvidia_drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 loglevel=5"
    # options  "root=PARTUUID=5028fa50-0079-4c40-b240-abfaf28693ea rw add_efi_memmap"
    submenuentry "Boot using fallback initramfs" {
        initrd /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img
    }
    submenuentry "Boot to terminal" {
        add_options "systemd.unit=multi-user.target"
    }
}

when i boot from that entry, errors occurs that loader is not found

Re: [SOLVED]rEFInd cannot find loader file(btrfs subvolume)

The lsblk output indicates a separate /boot/ partition on the ESP so the loader & initrd paths should be relative to that (ie, /vmlinuz-linux & /initrams-linux.img).

Note that manual configuration is not recommended for rEFInd. Did you try the auto-detection feature?

Thank you so much; after I changed the path to /vimlinuz, it works!
