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.

Fixed In Version: ovirt-node-2.3.0-8.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the ISO image did not include a UEFI kernel and initramfs. As a result it was not possible to boot UEFI enabled systems from optical media created using the image. The image has been updated. It now includes the components and directory structure needed to boot on a UEFI enabled machine.

Description Mohua Li 2011-10-25 07:31:41 UTC
Description of problem:

burn the iso to cdrom/usb, fail to boot with UEFI enable in IBM x3550, but ok to boot with the legacy bios, compare with rhel6.2, could boot with UEFI enable

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhev-hypervisor 6.2(snapshot3) 19.2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.burn the iso to cdrom/livecd-iso-to-disk $usb
2.boot with legacy biso(ok to boot)
3.boot with UEFI(fail to boot)
  
Actual results:
in x3550, rhev-hypervisor install disk always fail to boot in UEFI mode, 

Expected results:
rhev-hypervisor could boot in UEFI mode

> 3.boot with UEFI(fail to boot)

How do you choose between UEFI/legacy?
It seems that default (at least on those machines) is to try UEFI and automatically boot legacy if EFI fails, in which case this is not that critical issue.

fail to boot

Comment 20 Guohua Ouyang 2012-04-18 05:49:40 UTC
Since the usb disk media can boot with efi mode and the iso is blocked by bz810060, move this bug to ON_QA and we will verify it after bz810060 is fixed.

Comment 33 yuanquan chen 2012-05-15 11:02:22 UTC
I retry UEFI boot with latest build rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120509.1.el6 according to comment#30 steps.Both Dell R210 and Dell optiplex 990 fail to boot from usb disk under UEFI mode. But the Dell optiplex 990 success to boot rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120502.3.el6 under UEFI mode. So it may be a regression bug. I will go on to try the Dell R210 UEFI boot with rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120502.3.el6 tomorrow.

Comment 35 yuanquan chen 2012-05-16 09:44:44 UTC
I retry the UEFI boot test, the Dell R210 can boot the rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120502.3.el6 from usb disk under UEFI mode.

I also retry the Dell optiplex 990 to boot rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120509.1.el6 from usb disk under UEFI mode and find that the boot failure is mainly caused by /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.conf of the boot media,  which specifies path of  vmlinuz0 and initrd0.img as "/EFI/BOOT". While the last build rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120502.3.el6 specifies the correct path as "/syslinux". So edit the UEFI boot item as the correct path, the Dell optiplex 990 also can boot rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120509.1.el6 from usb disk under UEFI mode.

After bootting under UEFI mode, install the rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120509.1.el6 into local disk, it successes without error. But it fails to boot from local disk with UEFI or legacy BIOS mode. This is tracked by another bug 749621.

Comment 38 yuanquan chen 2012-05-18 11:09:57 UTC
Environment:
rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120516.0.el6
rhev-hypervisor-tools-2.3.0-7.el6
rhevh-iso-to-disk --format --efi rhevh-6.3-20120516.0.el6.iso /dev/sdb

It still fails to boot from usb disk under UEFI mode. The main cause is the specified path of vmlinuz0 and initrd0.img, "/EFI/BOOT/", but there's no vmlinuz0 and initrd0.img in that directory.

Comment 45 yuanquan chen 2012-05-28 03:27:33 UTC
Verify this bug with rhevh-6.3-20120523.1 on Dell R510. Make the usb boot media with command "rhevh-iso-to-disk --format --efi rhevh-6.3-20120523.1.el6.iso /dev/sdb" and boot from the usb disk under UEFI mode, it successes.
