UEFI boot not working in 3.1 final

In Porteus 3.1 rc2 the uefi boot worked very good but in 3.1 Final it failes to load the kernel and the bootloader gives the following information:

Starting vmlinuz
Using load options 'initrd=/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz'
invalid loader file!
Error:not found while loading vmlinuz

If i use the kernel from porteus 3.1 rc2 it loads as it should. The way i see it the problem seem to be in the new kernel in 3.1 final.

Yes thank you. After redownloading the UEFI boot works as it should again. I hope it could also support secure boot in near future.
