Description of problem: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/THEEDGE-3181 Burning an RHEL 9.x iso generated as edge-simplified-installer does not provide a UEFI bootable disk. Only boots to shell Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 8.x, 8.9 How reproducible: always on hardware with some hiccup in UEFI firmware Steps to Reproduce: Minimized, easy-to-follow steps that will trigger the bug. Include any special setup steps or specific tools you used setup nginx image repo in podman create a blueprint for producing a minimal edge image cat <<EOF > blueprint-fdo.toml name = "blueprint-fdo" description = "Blueprint for FDO" version = "0.0.1" packages = [] modules = [] groups = [] distro = "" [customizations] installation_device = "/dev/sda" [customizations.fdo] manufacturing_server_url = "${FDO_MANUFACTURING_URL}" diun_pub_key_insecure = "true" EOF build image sudo composer-cli compose start-ostree blueprint-fdo edge-simplified-installer --ref rhel/9/x86_64/edge --url http://192.168.122.86:8090/repo/ Export image using: sudo composer-cli compose image xxxxxxx Burn image to flash using various installer softwares or the recommended dd command.

Expected results: Rhel installer should run and onboarding proceed Additional info:
Working and tested patch https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild-composer/pull/3327
Tested scenario using OnLogic HX500, which was one of the 2 devices confirmed to display the behaviour in question. Using RHEL 9.1 build image and output a simplified-edge-installer, using pr 3327 as base, the issue was confirmed to be resolved and the HX500 system booted successfully. Verified that other devices, a NUC11k also still boots from the same image.
In order to verify this bug, tests on Onlogic bare-metal hardware HX401 and K410 have been performed. Following lines summarize test results: - RHEL-9.3 iso generated as edge-simplified-installer provides UEFI bootable disk for K410. - RHEL-9.3/CS9 iso generated as edge-simplified-installer provide UEFI bootable disks for HX401, but an issue has been found https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2232406
