Tried to use Beaker to install the latest rhel7 nightly build on sgi-uv1.

reason:         BootLoaderError: failed to set new efi boot target

Comment 15 Russ Anderson 2013-07-25 15:42:30 UTC
Was able to connect via VNC to Anaconda to watch the install.  After it failed (with "An unknown error has occured"), used the Anaconda interface to report the failure.  It looked for duplicate failures and added to this BZ.

Comment 16 Russ Anderson 2013-09-18 12:44:00 UTC
Provisioning rhel7 on SGI UV is working.
Other changes may have fixed this problem.
Closing.
