      Description of problem:

      UEFI installations can fail due to mismatch between the boot entry assisted-service creates(\EFI\redhat\shimx64.efi) and the shim file location on the EFI partition(EFI/centos/shimx64.efi)

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      4.13.0-0.nightly-2023-03-27-041448

      How reproducible:

      Reproducible only on specific setups. In this case it was an HPE el920t

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Deploy bare metal SNO with UEFI boot mode via ZTP procedure

      Actual results:

      After coreos-installer completes and the node reboots it cannot boot from the internal drive because the boot entry assisted-service creates(\EFI\redhat\shimx64.efi) points to a non existing location. The actual location of the shim file on the EFI partition is EFI/centos/shimx64.efi.

      Expected results:

      Location of the shim file is EFI/redhat/shimx64.efi

      Additional info:

      This issue is expected to be fixed by https://issues.redhat.com/browse/COS-2123. Filing this issue to keep track for Telco release.
