Ack on what Yaniv said.

If you take a look at node-devel list, we are actively working to get
UEFI working with oVirt Node, however there are some very tricky
technical issues that are making this not properly work.

See thread starting here:
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/node-devel/2012-January/000073.html

Until we get patches posted to enable UEFI in grub on livecds/oVirt
Node, please revert your BIOS to legacy mode.

Also note that grub2 (which is supposed to replace grub) in Fedora
16/rawhide does not yet work with UEFI at all (you are forced to use
legacy grub packages if you're on a UEFI system).  So UEFI issues are
not limited to just the Node.
