Hi Riccardo,

Thanks for following up, hopefully Dann will chime in with some
pertinent directions.  I don't know edk2 myself, but can give some
general advice on helping move bugs like this one forward.

You've identified two boundary points for the issue, and at least have a
local way to reproduce the bug reliably on your own hardware.  Given
that, one often effective technique is to do a git bisect search.  There
appear to be 1577 commits to sort through:

  $ git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git
  $ cd edk2/
  $ git rev-list 7bbe0b3e..5dfba97c --count
  1577

Details of the commits are here:

  $ git shortlog 7bbe0b3e..5dfba97c


An alternative approach, since this is a compiled C program, might be to set up 
traces on the process and identify the point in the edk2 codebase that triggers 
the kernel fault.  I am not sure if this is easy or hard to do in your 
environment, so may or may not be feasible.


Barring that, the next most helpful information is usually to have detailed 
steps to reproduce, or a simplified test case, that would enable other 
engineers to trigger the fault and then use one of the aforementioned 
procedures to isolate the fault and/or fix.
