I don't understand. The CPU_ON and CPU_OFF IDs are in the psci node
quoted above, and all the CPUs had enable-method = "psci".

That sounds like a pretty major bug.

Are you able to investigate with a hardware debugger?

Do other CPUs eventually log errors regarding the lockup? Or is the
machine completely dead from this point on?

I guess I asked the wrong question.

Do CPUs enter the kernel at EL2 or at EL1?

Thanks,
Mark.
