The note update was included in time that it's in the release notes book, I'm going to clone this so that we can action it in the actual books as a z-stream item (at the very least the Installation and Evaluation guides). *** Bug 789364 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** according to c#19 in bug 748725, move this bug to status "verified". "This time can boot successful with parameter "--efi". It is useful. Install RHEV-H can successful." Created attachment 583107 [details]
boot failed in Dell R510
Also using \EFI\ovirt is in violation of the specification. For QE: Please test all scenarios except the one below. A problem was found in the scenario below with brew builds only. Burn iso to cd and boot in UEFI mode causes immediate kernel panic. On second thought, leave this as ON_QA. The above issue will be split out in a different bz. Verify this bug with rhevh-6.3-20120523.1 on Dell R510. Boot from usb boot media under UEFI mode and install to local disk, then boot from the local disk under UEFI mode, it successes. *** Bug 828845 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
