[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1324762] Re: [MacBookPro8, 1] Fails to boot without noefi since linux-image-3.13.0-20-generic
Okay, git bisect says this is the first offending commit: dc9c3ed611922e769b1fd595f8f99a93d69c026d is the first bad commit commit dc9c3ed611922e769b1fd595f8f99a93d69c026d Author: Borislav Petkov b...@suse.de Date: Thu Oct 31 17:25:08 2013 +0100 x86/efi: Runtime services virtual mapping BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297658 We map the EFI regions needed for runtime services non-contiguously, with preserved alignment on virtual addresses starting from -4G down for a total max space of 64G. This way, we provide for stable runtime services addresses across kernels so that a kexec'd kernel can still use them. Thus, they're mapped in a separate pagetable so that we don't pollute the kernel namespace. Add an efi= kernel command line parameter for passing miscellaneous options and chicken bits from the command line. While at it, add a chicken bit called efi=old_map which can be used as a fallback to the old runtime services mapping method in case there's some b0rkage with a particular EFI implementation (haha, it is hard to hold up the sarcasm here...). Also, add the UEFI RT VA space to Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt.

Then the system hangs. When I reboot I'm dropped into the GRUB menu. To boot in EFI mode, I keep linux-image-3.13.0-19-generic around - which works fine. WORKAROUND: Booting using kernel boot parameter noefi, however gfx and disk performance suffers, and features such as the monitor brightness keys fail to work altogether.
