Bug 2037096

Description of problem: livecd-creator creates legacy boot image reliably, but fails to create an image with EFI boot option.  F33, using same kickstart, reliably created an image with EFI boot option. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  F34 (F35 also has same issue).


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  run livecd-creator
2.
3.

Actual results:  livecd-creator creates legacy boot image


Expected results:  livecd-creator should create an image that will boot both legacy and EFI

I had to add the subdirectory and file(s) manually. F33 added the fonts during install.

In case it helps diagnose this problem, during the fall of 2021 livecd-iso-to-disk was upgraded, but at the same time EFI boot option disappeared for a few days before being restored.  Not sure if this was just a coincidence, but if whatever was done last fall to restore EFI boot could be done again, maybe it will fix this bug!
