Summary	0000892: Rocky Linux 8.7 Generic Cloud only bootable with UEFI
Description	A rebuild of the generic cloud images are required, as they don't boot UEFI. For some users this is problematic as some platforms default to BIOS boot.
Tags	No tags attached.

David Monro 2022-11-29 04:14 reporter ~0001323	Having pulled apart the image a bit, it looks completely different to the 8.6 one. I _think_ the problem is that there just isn't a grub.conf for the non-UEFI case?

David Monro 2022-11-29 04:15 reporter ~0001324	(I should have been clearer, the image does in fact boot, but drops straight to a grub prompt).

Neil Hanlon 2022-11-29 04:37 administrator ~0001325	Heya, could you give this a try? https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/resf-empanadas/buildimage-8.7-x86_64/Rocky-8-GenericCloud-Base-8.7-20221128.0.x86_64/1669672808/Rocky-8-GenericCloud-Base-8.7-20221128.0.x86_64.qcow2

David Monro 2022-11-29 11:17 reporter ~0001326	No, that exhibits the same behaviour, drops straight to a grub prompt

Neil Hanlon 2022-12-08 17:28 administrator ~0001651	I apologize for not updating this case. The image has been updated and should now work for UEFI and BIOS boot.
