Last time when I was seeing reboot/poweroff broken on Flex 5G, I did not capture any kernel dumps. I will retry with efi=debug and see if I can get more information. In the meantime, could you help me understand if EFI must be running in virtual address mode when kernel is calling into the services, or it should work no matter EFI is running in virtual or physical address mode? Thanks! Shawn
