(Description based on https://github.com/OSInside/kiwi/issues/2741) The Fedora KDE Live ISOs are not bootable on a ppc64le KVM system. The SLOF firmware reports failed to load CHRP boot loader and E3404: not a bootable device when booting the ISOs in the KVM VM. It is probably because ppc/bootinfo.txt refers to \boot\grub2\powerpc-ieee1275\grub.elf, while in Fedora we have \boot\grub2\powerpc-ieee1275\core.elf instead. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download and boot a Fedora KDE live nightly for ppc64le (from nightly.fedoraproject.org) Actual Results: The SLOF firmware reports failed to load CHRP boot loader and E3404: not a bootable device when booting the ISOs in the KVM VM. It is probably because ppc/bootinfo.txt refers to \boot\grub2\powerpc-ieee1275\grub.elf, while in Fedora we have \boot\grub2\powerpc-ieee1275\core.elf instead. Expected Results: The image boots.

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 42-beta by Fedora user ngompa using the blocker tracking app because: I'd like to have bootable ppc64le live images.
