Hello cshao,
are you still able to reproduce it on RHEL-8.3? If yes, can you please upload the installation logs?
Thank you

Test version:
RHEL-8.3.0-20200909.1-x86_64-dvd1.iso

Test steps:
Install RHEL-8.3.0-20200909.1-x86_64-dvd1.iso on UEFI machine.

Test result:
Failed to boot RHEL 8.3 on UEFI machine.

error: ../../grub-core/loader/i386/efi/linux.c:215:/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz has invalid signature.
error: ../../grub-core/loader/i386/efi/linux.c:94:you need to load the kernel first.

I think this is due to RHEL 83 kernel isn't released yet.


==================================
But No such issue with RHEL-8.2.0-20200404.0-x86_64-dvd1.iso, so I think this bug is fixed.
