Thank you for the report; we'll look into it. This is likely the same reason the current ISOs aren't working with Ventoy.

I cannot guarantee a fast fix for this since we generally don't reissue ISOs once released. (Loopback booting is not a supported use case, but yes, we'd like to make this work again.)

Does the 9.2 ISO work for you? If so, you can start with that. For instance, the boot/uekboot ISO can be used with network yum repos to install latest RPMs, yielding an up-to-date OL9 system after install.

OL9.x ISO on exfat partition Linux boots correctly. For me it is enough. Thanks
