I got it working.

/boot/loader/entries/poweroff.conf (changed to remove the 70-)

title POWER OFF
efi /poweroff.efi

/boot/loader/entries/reboot.conf (changed to remove the 71-)

title Reboot
efi /reboot.efi

I placed the .efi files at /boot/poweroff.efi and /boot/reboot.efi

I'm guessing I got confused at where to put the files and it was one directory deep than it should have been. I previously had the files at /boot/EFI/ and that may have been why they weren't seen. I also signed the .efi files to make sure they boot with secure boot enabled.

Cheers!

Replying to HaloSlayer255 comment from 2025-10-18 04:59 (UTC) (and edited afterwards):

Can you replace the content of /boot/loader/entries/70-poweroff.conf with 

title    POWER OFF
efi      /EFI/poweroff.efi

and let us know what the results were? Do note I know very little about secure boot. I can not tell which files should, or should not, be signed.

Can you also share other entry files you have, such as the Linux kernel entry file?

Hello, I'm trying to add these entries to systemd-boot. If I have secure boot enabled, do these also need signed to work with systemd-boot.

I've made these entry files:

/boot/loader/entries/70-poweroff.conf

title POWER OFF
efi /boot/poweroff.efi
efi /EFI/poweroff.efi
efi /boot/EFI/poweroff.efi

/boot/loader/entries/71-reboot.conf
title Reboot
efi /boot/reboot.efi
efi /EFI/reboot.efi
efi /boot/EFI/reboot.efi

The poweroff.efi and reboot.efi files are located at:

/boot/poweroff.efi

/boot/reboot.efi

/boot/EFI/poweroff.efi

/boot/EFI/reboot.efi

I wonder what I could be doing wrong to prevent these from displaying properly?

Thank you to anyone who sees this in advance and have a good day!

You need to create a bunch of loader config files for systemd-boot:

File: /boot/loader/entries/70-poweroff.conf
────────────────────────────────────────────
title POWER OFF
efi /EFI/poweroff.efi

File: /boot/loader/entries/71-reboot.conf
─────────────────────────────────────────
title Reboot
efi /EFI/reboot.efi

Hi, tried to install and move generated efi from /usr/* to /boot/EFI (default archinstall), but also after a bootctl install /update seems this file are like invisible. Sorry, i need help. TY :)

It is nice to have positive feedback.

As far as I can tell, the level of support at the pre OS stage, and the software for that stage, is in flux. Possibly because it is more closely tied to the hardware. As it is closer to firmware than to software. I too would like to see free firmware distributed by current, or dedicated, distributions. However, at this time I do not have the resources to deal with software development hosting service. Feel free to do that, either by yourself or by other developers. Just keep it GPL2.

Thank you so much for this package! It works very well! I've been able to finally switch to systemd-boot now. I absolutely needed the poweroff and reboot menu entries for my setup.

My Optiplex micro computer is hidden behind the monitor. The power button is hard to access so I use the keyboard to power on. Sometimes accidental power-ons happen so it's good to have those menu entries available.

It might be useful to host the source files on Github or an equivalent service so other distros can potentially integrate them!

Thanks again!

Replying to comment: today, I have emailed xcom. Suggesting to discuss the issue by email. And post here when there will be something substantial to add. This message attempts to let other people know posting here is noticed.

I tried the poweroff.efi file but the system just hanged. Nothing really happened.
