As I said, the symptom is that PeiCore memory is badly corrupted and the stall happens due to executing said corruption, not due to jumping to NULL. Those broken branches I linked can all be made work by rolling back the change to MemoryAllocationLib (which changes the code size, thus misaligns *something*). In fact, using the broken variant only for MemoryInitPei is sufficient to reproduce the issue, other modules don't seem to be involved. >> > > Applying that commit made your branch work for me. Yes, that might very well be - applying ae2c904 also "fixes" the issue as per https://github.com/mhaeuser/edk2/tree/arm_corruption-earliest-fixed And technically, so does reverting this line :) https://github.com/mhaeuser/edk2/commit/7a96986e024f9c7ccf4774cc6f2ddb47a3abc86e#diff-1edfe01abdf8e4dcac640db4d9436e17b5f15d037714df7f365b58fcfc91e425R409 I don't understand how the changes would *fix* (rather than hide) the issue, so I'd attribute it to lucky codegen that doesn't misalign whatever is misaligned. I unfortunately have absolutely no time to get back to debugging this. :( Best regards, Marvin
