I take it that this one doesn't have the secure boot yet? The secure 
UEFI boot is almost certainly not the cause here---AFAIK there aren't 
any publicly available secure UEFI implementations yet, and your board 
seemed to execute the bootloader just fine and got bogged down during 
the kernel startup.

If secure boot was the issue, it would fail to boot because the 
bootloader is not yet signed. BTW, is the behavior in such case 
prescribed by the secure UEFI spec? Can the system lock up black or does 
it have to print a message and return to UEFI prompt?
