I can reproduce using RHEL 8.7 with the 2022.11 efi, the exact error
message (after grub, never changes) is:
"""
Synchronous Exception at 0x00000000FBD7728C
Synchronous Exception at 0x00000000FBD7728C
"""
If I downgrade to 2022.8 this installs and runs fine, but if I then
upgrade to 2022.11 it won't boot, note that even with 2022.11 it seems
to install ok, just won't boot afterwards:
virt-install \

--boot
loader=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.fd,loader_ro=yes,loader_type=pflash,nvram.template=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_VARS.fd
Switching between 2022.8 or 2022.11 versions of AAVMF_VARS.fd makes no
difference, so it seems its specifically a problem with AAVMF_CODE.fd
