Proposing as an Alpha blocker. In order to get a cookie from tflink, here's the criterion:
"All release-blocking images must boot in their supported configurations. 
Release-blocking images must boot from all system firmware types that are commonly found on the primary architectures."

8000000000000009 is OUT_OF_RESOURCES, so looks like a dupe.

My RC2 test install on my UEFI test system failed and came up as a dupe of this one.
