How did you create the ISO, did you copy all necessary files to your disk? What's you media, CD or USB?
ASKER
Actually it is working when i am instaling a raw image but its failing when i am installing with my own custom image using kickstart
ASKER
Yes all files are placed correctly including EFI directorey
ASKER
my custom iso work correctly with leagcy bios mode
have you tried the original media?
mount that iso UEFI and see if it boots correctly
if it does, then there is an issue with your custom media

Are you trying to boot via USB media?
Is there any reason you need to boot into UEFI mode? Personally I can't think of any good reason to do so, even if I waste hours and hours trying to find a reason. Just change your BIOS to legacy mode and it should work fine.

Hi yes i know some issue is there with custom iso but same i want to know how to resolve it.
actually uefi mode have larger storage capacity from HP gen 9 servers other wise it wont be able to use whole capability of hardware

Also could you help me how to deal or go with GPT enabled disk and what entries need to done in kickstart cfg file ? might be that could be a issue because i am using kickstart file for installation in custom iso

Have a look at below article and advice:

if i can create GPT parttion layout in my kickstart config so that it could suport EFI boot?
for now i am using below parttion lay out:

ok thanks Gheist and rindi - one small query
in above code i want to configure pv in such a way so that 1 pv take fix size and 2 pv took rest of the disk size for ex.
disk size = 100 gb
pv1 i define 20 the pv2 automatically select 80 gb because i want to make it feasible with diff size of disks.
thanks

You need 100MB /boot/efi
500MB /boot
Some swap
Some 20-50GB /
Rest at your choice
namely /boot must be separate so you can recover from broken /

If you have disabled UEFI mode as I recommended, you don't need an EFI partition. It also isn't absolutely necessary to have a separate /boot partition. It is usually enough to have a / partition for the OS, a Swap partition, and maybe a separate /home partition for user profiles and data.
You dont have to disable UEFI completely, just secure boot - image signature check...
You will thank me later for separate /boot partition.

thank you i got it but above i am asking something diffrent - i need to know the exact syntax of defining PV's in my kicstart file like i need 2 PV and want 1 PV of 20GB and second PV should take rest of the size of disk
please help?
please help?
Initial question was about and around UEFI boot rejecting your CD image...
Agreed, open a new question for that.
