Description Steve Baker 2024-06-06 02:20:45 UTC

Currently on the image overcloud-hardened-uefi-full.qcow2, the file /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg is identical to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. This has the following consequences:

- Any time grub2-mkconfig is run, it needs to be run again for /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg
- /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grubenv needs to exist and also be identical to /boot/grub2/
- Out-of-band package updates may update /boot/grub2/grub.cfg leaving /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg out of date, resulting in the wrong kernel booting, or in extreme scenarios UEFI boot may terminate at the grub prompt

To fix this, /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg needs to be a redirect to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, as is implemented in RHEL.

bz 2278025 is tracking fixing this for existing systems being upgraded to 17.1, and also fixing this whenever the tripleo-ansible tripleo_kernel role is run. But we need to also publish an image that has the correct grub.cfg, hence this bug.

The fix was moved to tripleo-puppet-elements so that it also fixes bz 2299694
