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.

Additional info:
Need to confirm whether the missing ipxe files will be pulled in by first using the "libvirt --nographics" option. If this is a viable workaround for Alpha3, we will need to add a release note.

What do you mean by "using libvirt --nographics option"? I can't find such option in libvirt. There's -nograpchis in qemu, but it's used to disable graphics output (VGA) and redirect serial ports, which severely limits qemu usefulness.

Hai, we need to wait till next compose as Alpha-3 is still having qemu-1.3.0 based version qemu-kvm however there has been rebase from qemu-1.3.0 to qemu-1.4.0 that's having the dependency fixed from ipxe to ipxe-roms-qemu already,
Because of the update from qemu-1.3.0 to qemu-1.4.0 we would need to wait for a new compose as qemu-1.3.0 based version will be outdated in the next compose.
