Please do not add comments or links to into a bug which is clearly a different failure!

Back to the original issue:

We have a "backup" known working uefi.bin which LAVA uses to boot into the master image, this step is working fine.

Before the board is booted into the test image, the uefi.bin from the job specification is written, and this is what seems to be crashing.

I don't believe this is a bug in lava or lava-lab, as it seems to me that the uefi binary in the job is not bootable.

I agree with Matt, the UEFI binary is crap.

Where did the UEFI binary in that boot.tar.bz2 come from? It's dated 15th Dec 2013 for a start. As are all the UEFI binaries and the uInitrd. Why such old binaries on a new snapshot?

The last Android LSK release had binaries from 20th April 2014.

Premerge CI just picks an old Android Release image and updates the kernel and provides the same to boot. The image that was being used was from 13.12 release. ITS request has been raised to get the image updated to 14.03 now:
