How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:

7. Enter the following command to start the Fedora installer:
   FS1:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTAA64.EFI
8. In the Grub boot menu select the first menu option and hit enter
9. System hangs

The boot issue was not resolved after I restarted the system and added the following kernel parameter: console=ttyS0,115200

Actual results:

The following is displayed on the serial console:

L3c Cache: 8MB

Systems hangs and needs to be rebooted.

Expected results:

Version: 4.4.6-1

This was reported to be working in testing at the time of the bug
report, which I think means the above version works.

Debian 8 "jessie" is now in LTS status and arm64 is not one of the
architectures receiving further updates.
