12:01 <stgraber> ok, so I've got a patched shim that can log into nvram 
variables, that should make tracking the hang down a bit easier
12:32 <stgraber> and debugged as far as I can without getting any real shim 
knowledge
12:32 <stgraber> that is, I tracked it down to the exact line where it's hanging
12:33 <stgraber> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5962449/ is what I've been working with
12:33 <stgraber> after boot, I'm getting: 
12:33 <stgraber> verify_buffer: debug 1a
12:34 <stgraber> so it appears it actually hangs on the Print() call in the 
error case of that first check in verify_buffer
12:34 <stgraber> possibly because grub prevents it from printing anything (as 
we've seen with your other test build)
12:57 <stgraber> found the issue, though it's pretty scary
12:57 <stgraber> commenting the Print() call makes my laptop boot just fine
12:57 <stgraber> may be related to some console state change triggered by grub 
or as Colin suggested in #ubuntu-installer, a memory allocation bug in the 
firmware's implementation of Print()
12:58 <stgraber> anyway, patching the shim not to print stuff to the screen 
seems like our easiest fix for this mess
