I have a few systems that don't boot on some VMWare nodes using EFI stub.
Kernel boots on VMWare ESXi 5.1 but has trouble on ESXi 5.5.
>From behavior it seems very much related to memory layout as just
adding a few efi_printk() into EFI stub gets the otherwise same kernel
to boot. Also the kernel does boot on another VMWare node.
Kernel I'm using: 3.18.2
I've take a snapshot that i converted to core dump. Poking at it with
gdb it looks like kernel gets stuck in misc.o somewhere during zlib
decompression.
