# first bad commit: [858c7bfcb35e1100b58bb63c9f562d86e09418d9] arm64/boot: Enable EL2 requirements for FEAT_PMUv3p9
NOTE: LKFT is currently running FVP Fast Models version 11.24. Planned upgrade to the Fast Models version 11.28 in this sprint.
What firmware (and version therof) are you running within the model?
For example, if the EL3 firmware lacks support for FEAT_FGT2 or FEAT_PMUv3p9, the kernel will trap to EL3 early during boot and die.
It would be really helpful if you could capture that in the report in future.
Mark.
