Do You mean the screenshot with UEFI shell? You usually do drop to UEFI =
shell when firmware did decide it can not start your efi application. =
Other option is, we got failure and did exit loader.efi.

it may help if you attempt to start loader.efi manually from ESP, by =
entering: FS0:/efi/boot/bootx64.efi  =E2=80=94 there may appear some =
messages...
