Node is based on Fedora 17=2C so if you have the same problem with both=2C =
that means it is likely upstream on the Fedora end of things. Fedora 18 is =
due to have support for UEFI=2C but release has been delayed until Jan 8th =
at the earliest. If Fedora 18 works=2C I'd say you'll likely be able to use=
 an oVirt Node based on F18. Any way to disable UEFI on your server? - Nick
