RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.
Comment 8 Jaroslav Suchanek 2019-12-04 15:30:28 UTC 
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

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.
