Description Mike Burns 2011-12-08 15:08:49 UTC 
ovirt-node installation fails when booted in EFI mode.


Partitioning should already setup the EFI partition, but we don't currently populate it correctly.

We need to make sure that we can boot on EFI machines correctly but still maintain compatibility with non EFI machines

Here's how anaconda detects efi system: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=blob;f=pyanaconda/iutil.py;h=d29bf1edf174dc50ebcbc6cd3251fb9248a7f678;hb=HEAD#l698

And here's how to install EFI bootloader:
http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/installation.html

Easiest seems to be to just copy grub.efi to the default boot loader's location EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI

This didn't make 2.2.1, so moving to 2.2.2.

@jboggs, can you update status here?
Comment 4 Joey Boggs 2012-01-25 17:53:52 UTC 
current status is waiting on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=783211

Once it makes it into the stable repos and remaining uefi patches acked/merged we will have a working install.
