Public bug reported: 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 ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1917665 Title: PXE booting exits into grub command-line To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1917665/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
