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 of problem:  I just installed RHEL 6.1 workstation on my macbook.  After the installation the system was not bootable.  I'm not using bootcamp or any Apple related software, so I may not have primed the system correctly, but MacOS has never been installed on this system.  It is, in my mind, an EFI only laptop regardless of who made it.

Anyway, I booted off of rescue media, ran gptsync -q and the system now boots just fine.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL6.1 (I'm guessing this is anaconda related, but it could be some EFI voodoo)


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. make gpt label
2. create EFI partition
3. Install RHEL
4. fail to boot
5. run gptsync
6. reboot successfully
  
Actual results:  System unbootable


Expected results: system would reboot into Linux


Additional info:  The system has never had any Apple software loaded, does not dual boot, or run anything but Linux

Macbook is not supported hardware for RHEL6. Here is a fedora bug report that might give you some pointers on how to make it work: bug 503149.
