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.

Description Rick Barry 2019-11-22 15:47:07 UTC
We currently have customer cases related to the inability to boot rhel-guest-image (qcow2) using UEFI (it currently only supports booting over legacy BIOS). My team is working with RCM to add this capability to rhel-guest-image, using a single, hybrid image capability of booting with either firmware method:

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1647915#c25

These are being built to boot on Gen1 (BIOS) and Gen2 (UEFI) Azure
instance types.

Having the same ability in ImageBuilder would be a valuable solution to customers and would also be a step toward using ImageBuilder to build the rhel-guest-image itself with the same functionality.

Here are the SMEs from our Virt team that can work with your team: Vitaly Kuznetsov (dev), Laszlo Ersek (dev), Yaju Cao (QE) and Wei Shi (QE).
