PXE boot of the OEM image failed on a UEFI enabled system.

[Bala-Yeruva]

Problem description

I setup the PXE server as per kiwi specification and was able to perform a pxe installation when the client server was in legacy boot mode. However, when the client server is enabled with UEFI it fails to load the PXE image .

Could please let us know if I need to enable any additional properties in the config.xml or if something needs to be adjusted on the PXE server to make OEM image work with UEFI enabled systems

Expected behaviour

The OEM image should be able to perform the PXE installation on UEFI enabled systems.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Image was build with following property.

Steps followed in the kiwi document(Network Deployment) : https://osinside.github.io/kiwi/building_images/build_expandable_disk.html
