Description

The menuentry lines in the remaster script that handle linuxefi and initrdefi are incorrect for RHEL 8

77> linuxefi /isolinux/vmlinuz0 root=live:LABEL=fdi rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image acpi=force rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 nomodeset nokaslr $2
78> initrdefi /isolinux/initrd0.img
81> linuxefi /isolinux/vmlinuz0 root=live:LABEL=fdi rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image rd.live.check acpi=force nomodeset nokaslr $2
82> initrdefi /isolinux/initrd0.img

These can be set to appropriate values for RHEL 8 such as below

77> linuxefi /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz root=live:LABEL=fdi rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image acpi=force rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 nomodeset nokaslr $2
78> initrdefi /images/pxeboot/initrd.img
81> linuxefi /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz root=live:LABEL=fdi rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image rd.live.check acpi=force nomodeset nokaslr $2
82> initrdefi /images/pxeboot/initrd.img

But the remaster script still turns the FDI ISO into a flat image with no partition structure.
