  • /boot/efi File format not supported while Installing in RHEL 8 in UEFI Secure boot or Secure boot disabled mode.

    Posted on

    RHEL 8 supports UEFI in Secure Boot enabled as well as with Disabled mode. That is a very good change, as Most of the new machines only support UEFI mode.

    But while installing RHEL 8 with UEFI mode,
    while in custom partition in LVM mode;

    I had to choose both
    /boot in standard partition
    /boot/efi
    "

    Why not only /boot/efi works ?

    I tried going with /boot/efi in different file formats,
    after removing " /boot" it says format not supported.

    But when I keep the partitioning as such with LVM.

    /
    /boot
    /boot/efi
    /swap

    It works fine.
