Public bug reported:

I am using VMWare Fusion Tech Preview on an Apple M1 Max MacBook Pro
per:

https://blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/2021/09/fusion-for-m1-public-tech-
preview-now-available.html

I am successfully using the 5.14 kernel series (currently
5.14.21-051421-generic) but note this is now EOL.

However whenever I try to upgrade to either the 5.15 or 5.16 series my
VM hangs at boot time after:

EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL unavailable
EFI stub: ERROR: FIRMWARE BUG: kernel image not aligned on 64k boundary
EFI stub: ERROR: FIRMWARE BUG: Image BSS overlaps adjacent EFI memory region
EFI stub: Using DIB from configuration table
EFI stub: Exiting boot services...

I see the same "hang" for both 5.15.7 and 5.16-rc4.

FYI this has also been reported by others who note that the problem
appears to be specific to Ubuntu:

https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Fusion-for-Apple-Silicon-Tech/Anyone-
have-any-luck-with-Ubuntu-5-15-kernels/m-p/2880362

Given that I can't boot using the 5.15.7 and 5.16-rc4 kernels, I can't
provide the output from:

cat /proc/version

However I attach the output from lspci.

Please let me know what other information I can provide to help diagnose
this issue.

Thanks
