> Booting 12.0-RC3 (RC2 as well) seems to hang on Cavium ThunderX boot after boot menu, but no trouble with 11.2. Kind of feels like EFI console setting issue, but I not sure where else to dig - settings seem 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 — 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’ve twiddled kernel options and configurations, but nothing seems to make it budge.
