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 Paolo Bonzini 2013-05-13 21:19:09 UTC 
The iPXE ROMs in RHEL7.0 should not include a UEFI driver; we do not ship OVMF and cannot support them.

This basically means reverting upstream commit c45e5b5b30ac1f5505725a7b36e68cedfce4f01f.
Comment 3 Miroslav Rezanina 2013-08-09 11:43:59 UTC 
Fix included in qemu-kvm-1.5.2-3.el7

Comment 6 Miroslav Rezanina 2014-02-21 10:48:47 UTC 
Hi Fang,
No this bz should not be blocke by machine types. Removing the dependency.
Comment 7 juzhang 2014-02-21 10:52:29 UTC 
Hi Paolo,

This issue has 2 bzs. One this against qemu-kvm component, the other is against ipxe component. Could you provide an efficient way for qe verify these 2 bzs both?

Best Regards,
Junyi
Comment 8 Paolo Bonzini 2014-02-21 11:45:25 UTC 
For iPXE, check that there are no efi-* files provided.

For qemu-kvm, normal PXE boot sanity check is enough (beware that macvtap is broken, use normal bridge).
