[Bug 1917665] Re: PXE booting exits into grub command-line

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

MAAS does not use grub from the archive directly. It uses streams.

First stop is to debug it with MAAS team.

For example, which image streams are you using? which bootloaders
revision are you on? is this with UEFI or Bios boot?

The bootloader version from the stream is needed to figure out if you
are on the latest bootloader level or not.

Title:
  PXE booting exits into grub command-line

Status in MAAS:
  New
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Dell Poweredge R740, commissioning from MAAS fails because the PXE
  booting process does not start properly. It exits into the grub
  command-line quickly after attempting to PXE booting over IPV4.

  The only workaround working so far is to connect to the remote console
  during the commissioning phase, wait for the grub command-line, then
  type "exit", enter, and then the PXE booting resume correctly. This
  forces a manual interaction for every server commissioned through
  MAAS, which slows down considerably a deployment.

  MAAS version: 2.8/stable: 2.8.4-8597-g.05313b458
  Commissioning images affected: 18.04, 20.04.2, with default kernel and hwe-edge kernel
  Integrated NIC : Intel(R) Ethernet 10G 4P X520/I350 rNDC (PXE over port 3) version 19.5.12
  Dell BIOS version: 2.10.0

  Thanks for the help
