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.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2101953 +++

Description of problem:

os-probes/mounted/x86/efi contains some helpful scripts for matching EFI applications.

Can a new probe be added for 'shell.efi'?  I'd leave it as an exercise to the sysadmin to ensure they've got the right sort of shell binary (IA32/IA64).  But this would make it easy to add an entry for the EFI shell on systems that don't ship a builtin efi shell.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):os-prober-1.77-9.fc36.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to get '[sS]hell.efi' detected like elilo
2. 
3.

Actual results:
Only elilo or microsoft are currently detected

Expected results:
detection of an efi shell

Additional info:

I'd be happy to submit a patch upstream if I could figure out where to route it....

It'd be great if you submit the patch upstream. For it, you can use Debian bug tracker and fill a report with patch for os-prober package.
