Description Roman Plevka 2017-08-31 09:21:42 UTC

Description of problem:
The recent patch for grub (shipped with rhel7.4) has caused a regression for netbooting the 6-octet addresses:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1370642#c70

This results in grub trying (and failing) to locate the grub.cfg file in the following format (note the extra '-' at the end of the mac-string):

Client 192.168.100.21 File not found /grub2/grub.cfg-01-52-54-00-a3-87-02-

This might be tackled by tweaking the regular expression in the grub.cfg file, to match an optional ':' in the advertised mac address, however the shipped grub seems to be missing the regexp.mod module ( we might need to fix this too).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.3.0-snap#12

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just create some uefi vm
2. try to provision it using satellite

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/20814 has been resolved.

Comment 6 Lukas Zapletal 2017-09-26 11:16:22 UTC

QA NOTES: Broken Grub2 7.4 workaround will only work when both of the following Bfs are fixed:
