Issue

Using the provided downloadable (other than full DVD ISO) install media, UEFI installation fails
The install process is:
- Go to Red Hat and download installation ISO (net install, minimal boot disk, full install disk - whatever).
- Go to IBM AMM and remote console to blade and mount the ISO as the CDROM drive for that blade.
- Allow ISO to begin boot process, but specify networking and other settings with the kickstart file location.
- Kickstart takes over and blade installs from the satellite server cobbler profile.
