So during a recent Anaconda installer bug triage we encountered the
following bug report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2366967

"Installation media is not recognised by the 32-bit EFI of the 64-bit-
CPU LINX 1010."

What it boils down is basically that Fedora 42 media apparently no
longer boots on an 64-bit system that uses 32-bit EFI.

I do remember we added support for this a a while ago:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/32BitUefiSupport

I've tried asking Adam Williamson on Matrix and he confirmed this is
still supported but on a reasonable effort basis - it might work, int
might not & Fedora QA is not actively testing this due to lack of
hardware.

So I am wondering what it the way forward for 32-bit EFI in Fedora &
this bug report ? I don't think its in the installer team as we also
don't have hardware to test this on and frankly are not likely to work
on this without an urgent clear requirement.

Maybe the bug should be reassigned to a bootloader component - which
one ?

Thanks for any hints!
