      Description of problem:

      During provisioning of a RHEL 8 host on a libvirt compute resource, the VM fails to boot into the installer. The VM immediately drops into the UEFI PXE boot screen and repeatedly times out with the following error:

      ```
      >>Start PXE over IPv4.
         PXE-E18: Server response timeout.
      BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0002 "UEFI PXEv4 (MAC:5254006F6DCB)" ...
      IPv4(0.0.0.0:0, DHCP:0.0.0.0) : Not Found

      ```
      How reproducible:

      Always

      Is this issue a regression from an earlier version:

      Yes, Rhel 7,9 and 10 works

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Configure Satellite for PXE provisioning
      2.  Set up RHEL 8 content
      3. Create provisioning hostgroup
      4. Configure SecureBoo
      5. Create Libvirt Compute Resource
      6. Create Host
      7. Verify VM creation on Libvirt
      8. Wait for build completion

      Actual behavior:
      Build status is pending and when checked on Libvirt it did not start booting in the first place. (Booted for Rhel 9 and 10 )

      Expected behavior:

      Build status reaches "Installed" state within timeout period

      Business Impact / Additional info:

      RHEL 8 hosts cannot be provisioned on libvirt, blocking automation and QA workflows.
      Verified that networking, DHCP, and TFTP services are operational; issue appears specific to RHEL 8 bootloader delivery.
