This bug has been reported fixed in a new RHCOS build.  Do not move this bug to MODIFIED until the fix has landed in a new bootimage.

Comment 5 HuijingHei 2021-10-04 13:37:42 UTC 
Verified with RHCOS 49.84.202109302214-0

Downloaded the RHCOS live ISO and wrote to USB drive(/dev/sda)
$ sudo dd bs=4M if=rhcos-49.84.202109302214-0-live.x86_64.iso of=/dev/sda oflag=sync status=progress

Booted USB stick in UEFI mode and verified boot was successful
Also booted in BIOS mode and verified boot was successful

Need to append 'console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0' to kernel command line before start
$ sudo virt-install --name testuefi --memory 2048 --vcpus 2 --disk /dev/sda,bus=usb,device=cdrom --cpu host --boot uefi,cdrom --nographic
$ sudo virt-install --name testbios --memory 2048 --vcpus 2 --disk /dev/sda,bus=usb,device=cdrom --cpu host --boot cdrom --nographic
