Unable to build RHEL9.2 based BareMetal node images using image-builder from RHEL 9.2 host

[pdamianov]

What happened: Following the Documentation https://anywhere.eks.amazonaws.com/docs/osmgmt/artifacts/#build-bare-metal-node-images, I tried to build node RHEL-based BareMetal node images using image-builder from RHEL 9.2

What you expected to happen: Successfully build the images

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Follow the documentation and try to build RHEL-based node image from RHEL9.2-based admin host

Anything else we need to know?:

• run:

image-builder build --os redhat --hypervisor baremetal --release-channel 1-29 --baremetal-config redhat/bm_rhel9.json --os-version 9 --force

• run:

image-builder build --os redhat --hypervisor baremetal --release-channel 1-29 --baremetal-config redhat/bm_rhel9.json --os-version 9 --force --firmware efi

• after two weeks of digging, I compiled qemu v6.20 and OVMF.fd from source and got some progress:

image-builder build --os redhat --hypervisor baremetal --release-channel 1-29 --baremetal-config redhat/bm_rhel9.json --os-version 9 --force
