Sorry, I am a newbie to UEFI and Grub2, meanwhile I am reading all I can about Grub2 and UEFI Thanks Thanks _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

I have been searching in the UEFI text interface of the blade and it allows browse the EFI System Partition and choose a file to boot. However this EFI interface don't show any file to boot. Then I booted the system with another livecd and mounted the EFI partition; I found that there was not any file in the EFI partition. It seems that blade don't boot because it don't find the efi boot archives. Could it be that ovirt installation fails to write efi boot files? Any idea to debug the installation process?
