Hi,
    Launching efilinux from Tianocore DUET UEFI 2.3.1 X64 firmware
freezes the system requiring hard reset (unresponsive keyboard
including num lock).

> fs0:
> cd efi\efilinux
> efilinux.efi -l
efilinux 0.8
(system freezes)

Is it similar to
http://git.kernel.org/?p=boot/grub-fedora/grub-fedora.git;a=commitdiff;h=8ae2d7617526cf19024c54103bd1583aa982f14b;hp=8d73e5190c772f14ab7b248caa4b36b80dcc1c7d
? A similar problem in both grub-legacy-fedora and grub2 UEFI was
solved when this stack alignment issue was corrected.

For UEFI firmware chainloaded from BIOS systems (real hardware UEFI
testing) you can use the DUET images which I compile regularly.
Checkout the git repos at
https://gitorious.org/tianocore_uefi_duet_builds and follow the
instructions at www.rodsbooks.com/bios2uefi/index.html on how to setup
DUET to boot from a GPT partition. Thanks in advance.

Regards.
