I haven't encountered this issue.  Can you send the kernel config that you
are using?  And your kernel command line?  I'll try your config and see if
I can reproduce the issue.

Just to be clarify, you perform a power-on boot with SME enabled and KASLR
disabled (e.g. mem_encrypt=on nokaslr), correct, and that won't boot?

Thanks,
Tom
