Hello,
I'm back again because I was assuming that Nick's workaround was working ok,
but I have found that ARCH=x86_64 i.e. 64bit built kernel is causing
an immediate hard reboot at initrd execution,
just after hitting [ENTER] at grub/efi menu.

ARCh=x86 i.e. 32bit kernel binary is not affected, but is Nick's
workaround targeting 32 bit kernel builds?
Should it be modified to work for 64bit kernel binary?

How do aosp android-mailine kernels avoid this instantaneous hard reboot issue?
