My Zen1 box fails booting with those. It is related to memory encryption
because if I supply "mem_encrypt=off", it boots.

The failure is (typing it off from the video from the BMC):

/dev/root: Can't open blockdev
VFS: Cannot open root device "UUID=..."
Please append a correct "root=" boot option;
...

I'll bisect now but it is pretty clear which one is the culprit.
