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 Mike Burns 2011-10-27 17:24:45 UTC
+++ 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

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).

Comment 12 Guohua Ouyang 2012-04-18 10:13:47 UTC
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."

boot failed in Dell R510

Comment 33 Peter Jones 2012-05-16 18:31:39 UTC
Also using \EFI\ovirt is in violation of the specification.

Comment 42 Mike Burns 2012-05-24 15:55:37 UTC
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.

Comment 43 Mike Burns 2012-05-24 16:00:28 UTC
On second thought, leave this as ON_QA.  The above issue will be split out in a different bz.

Comment 44 yuanquan chen 2012-05-28 03:31:11 UTC
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.
