Hi, I did try the tip of Linus git tree. However I can't make the kernel
boot regardless bad commit or not. The kernel just hang there after grub2
load the kernel and initram image. It looks like a different problem than the
intel black screen because it don't even get to the point show any console
print out.

I will try the intel branch instead.
