Interesting data point. The failure is on a rhel7/grub2 root. The identical kernel on a rhel6/grub root boots. So maybe grub2 brings out the failure? I suspect Fedora19/grub2 on EFI should hit the problem (for someone looking to reproduce it). In both cases the kernel boot line options are the same. -- Russ Anderson, OS RAS/Partitioning Project Lead SGI - Silicon Graphics Inc rja@xxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
