Subject: Loading initrd above 4G causes freeze on boot
Date: Sat, 09 Aug 2014 17:23:43 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53E62EEF.9040801@gmail.com> (raw)
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.)
