Finally got a chance to install Fedora 37 on most of the machines I have around here. Interestingly I cannot get Fedora 37 Workstation Live to boot in UEFI mode on a desktop with an Intel DH87RL motherboard. What happens is I select the USB drive from the boot selection menu, the screen goes blank for a few seconds, and then I get dumped back at the boot device selection menu.
The same USB stick works perfectly on multiple other UEFI and BIOS systems. Media tests pass.
Legacy (BIOS) boot works fine. Secure Boot enabled / disabled does not change anything.
I also tested a 20221221 Workstation compose[0] and it does not boot either.
I suspect this is related BIOS ISO w/ GRUB2 change[1], but I don't know that for sure.
I am at a loss for next troubleshooting steps, or even what component to file a bug against. Suggestions welcome!

If your ultimate goal is F37 installation and no F37 media will boot, try booting installation media's kernel and initrd using an already working Grub, preferably those from the netinst .iso. NET install initialized from Grub is virtually the only installation method I use when Grub is already on the computer.
I haven't had occasion to try a fresh installation since long before the change to Grub for installation media, as I'm normally content to upgrade using dnf.
