+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #747102 +++ It appears that RHEV-H installation fails when booted in EFI mode. Bug 747102 has setup the partitions for allowing boot in EFI mode. This bug is to do the actual setup needed to setup the ESP --- Additional comment from apevec on 2011-10-27 10:36:11 EDT --- Created attachment 530505 [details] Screenshot of grub menu booted with grub.efi grub.conf also needs to be in the same folder with grub.efi When grub.efi is selected manually in UEFI setup menu, it shows grub menu but fails to find partition - need to investigate why. --- Additional comment from apevec on 2011-10-27 10:59:42 EDT --- See bug 748725 comment 5 - if default is to try EFI and then legacy, fixing EFI boot shouldn't be a blocker. We only need to push the disk layout change since that affects future upgrades.

The note update was included in time that it's in the release notes book, I'm going to clone this so that we can action it in the actual books as a z-stream item (at the very least the Installation and Evaluation guides).

according to c#19 in bug 748725, move this bug to status "verified". "This time can boot successful with parameter "--efi". It is useful. Install RHEV-H can successful."
Created attachment 583107 [details] boot failed in Dell R510
Also using \EFI\ovirt is in violation of the specification.
For QE: Please test all scenarios except the one below. A problem was found in the scenario below with brew builds only. Burn iso to cd and boot in UEFI mode causes immediate kernel panic.
On second thought, leave this as ON_QA. The above issue will be split out in a different bz.
Verify this bug with rhevh-6.3-20120523.1 on Dell R510. Boot from usb boot media under UEFI mode and install to local disk, then boot from the local disk under UEFI mode, it successes.
