Successfully installed RHEL 6.3 failed to boot

Hi Guys,
    Here is a solution to the specific problem that usually arises after successful installation of RHEL 6.3 OS on a IBM system or lenevo system(laptop or desktop).

I have faced this issue while installing RHEL 6.3 on IBM blade server. Though I have successfully installed RHEL 6.3 without any error, but after installation it was unable to boot. After a long search I found a solution from IBM site.

Symptom

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6) Update 3 will fail to start in Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) mode if a Trusted Boot (tboot) package is installed. The error message is shown 

Trusted Execution Technology(TXT) and tboot are supported in RHEL 6 when using legacy BIOS. TXT and tboot will does not work with uEFI mode enabled. With uEFI and tboot enabled the server will not boot.

below:

Invalid magic number
press any key to continue..


Solution :

  
Running tboot in UEFI mode is not supported by Red Hat.
So opt out tboot package while selecting packages from Basic package Tab during Installation.
