I tried it with pre11, same problem.
I modified the debug append line to the one above.
I get the following output:
efi_boot_linux: kernel_start 0x1000000 kernel_size 0x472390 initramfs 0x7e3dc998 setup_data 0x0 cmdline 0x9f000
efi_boot_linux: setup_sects 32 kernel_size 4662160
Hope this helps
Regards Michael
