| |
As of commit 4bf7111f5016 ("x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G"), the kernel freezes at the earliest possible moment when trying to boot via UEFI on my Asus laptop. (It still boots via BIOS.)
If I revert that commit on current master (c309bfa9b481), it boots correctly again [although I see "setup_efi_pci() failed" being printed].
(Seems like it freezes when handle_cmdline_files() attempts to read the last chunk of the initramfs -- the last call to efi_file_read() never returns. Figuring out why that happens is beyond me, though.)
