 So this is weird, it mean that loader.efi couldn't allocate some pages.

 I've just tried ALPHA4 on my orangepi-zero (closer board that I have),
I've just overwritten u-boot using the port we have for it and the

 How did you generate the image for this one ?
 Could you test with my method ? Thanks.
