Does it give any error?

Also is CSM (the BIOS compatibility mode of UEFI) enabled in the firmware
settings?

No,will not pop up any error, as screenshot1 shows, machine's BIOS is on UEFI mode,at boot menu interface, select "iLO virtual ..." to boot (virt-p2v iso file has been mounted via iLO), but machine will return to screenshot2

Also could reproduce this problem using guest, create a uefi guest in virt-manager and connect virt-p2v iso file to CDROM. then boot guest into CDROM but console will keep at screenshot3 forever

Comment 7 Alex Williamson 2019-10-11 21:01:21 UTC
I'm seeing a similar failure, I have a physical system that does not support CSM, it's pure UEFI, the RHEL7.6 virt-p2v ISO (SHA-256 Checksum: d437f5768fe3cdb992f53861ced9438a4680d5a161eaed89aa6885d60212501b) is not recognized as bootable.  A Fedora 30 ISO boots well on the system.

This bug will be addressed in next major release.

I apologise for the actions of the "stale" bug process above.  This bug
is not stale, and I am reopening it.  All bugs are important.

My apologies, this bug was closed by a broken process that we
do not have any control over.  Reopening.

Comment 18 Richard W.M. Jones 2022-01-07 14:32:59 UTC
Let's fix this in RHEL 9.  Since there is a bug already for that
I'm making this bug a duplicate of the newer one.
