to approximately match 11.2.

Still no luck getting the ThunderX to boot anything after 11.2. Both =
12-Release and 13-Current exhibit the same behavior:  it reaches =
loader.efi, says it loads the kernel, but then nothing =E2=80=94 just =
hangs.

Identical behavior across all boot media (PXE, USB, SATA, not =
surprising, since it reaches the loader fine).

The board itself is the MT30-GS2, up-to-date firmware and BIOS (ThunderX =
has been quite for a bit).

Any thoughts? I=E2=80=99ve twiddled kernel options and configurations, =
but nothing seems to make it budge.
