Would it be possible to replicate this PR for AlmaLinux as a 3.4.x/3.5.x update? As it stands UEFI chainloading will fail by default as the following paths are missing in the pxegrub2_chainload template:
'/EFI/almalinux/shim.efi',
'/EFI/almalinux/grubx64.efi
theforeman:develop ← ekohl:35182-rocky-uefi-chainload
opened 12:26PM - 08 Jul 22 UTC
In pxegrub2_chainload.erb various paths are tried, but the /EFI/rocky/grubx64.ef… i path is missing. This causes the server to refuse to boot.
To make it easier to use the Rocky Linux installation medium is added.
It would be nice if any changes applied to one RHEL rebuild are also applied to all for consistency and a better user experience.

This is a bit-for-bit copy of #9295, modified for AlmaLinux.
In pxegrub2_chai… nload.erb various paths are tried, but the /EFI/almalinux/grubx64.efi path is missing. This causes the server to refuse to boot.
To make it easier to use the AlmaLinux installation medium is added.
