Grub2 currently only pass 32-bit framebuffer base to kernel. The Linux kernel has already added support to handle 64-bit linear framebuffer address in the efifb driver now. So GRUB2 should support 64-bit EFI linear frame buffer address. [Impact] Some machines block booting with firmware/bios implemented 64-bit EFI linear frame buffer address,due to Grub passing incorrect(only 32-bit) EFI linear frame buffer. [Test cases] Need Bios/Firmware support, 1) Make sure the machine with the Bios implemented 64-bit EFI linear frame buffer address. some machine need to enable above 4G mmio on bios setup menu. 2) Boot up. [Solution] A patch has been committed and accepted by maintainer http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=886edba8770ccbc3def0af2a7d6b346d00d0af2f [Regression Potential] Minimal, it's unlikely completing the whole framebuffer address will affect those which hasn't used above 32-bits framebuffer address.
