The stick boots but under UEFI boot it fails to load the UEFI portion and errors in Grub at "/boot not found" It will boot and install in BIOS mode but I do not want to boot and install in BIOS mode. =)
I've tried on 4 different UEFI systems and the same behavior is exhibited.

My test cluster was installed via UEFI boot on the 2.x train and will no longer boot via UEFI with the new release. I'm pretty sure secure boot is not enabled on the Dell Poweredge 730s I'm testing on but I will double check tomorrow (these are the same systems I was running the old version on, booting uefi for install)

We use Rufus to create bootable USB iso.
