Description Landon LaSmith 2017-02-01 16:09:14 UTC 
Description of problem: During a RHV deployment consisting of HP DL60 and Lenovo RD350 hardware for engine/hypervisor, the Lenovo machines fail to pxeboot the local disk after provisioning completes.

QCI Media Version: QCI-1.1-RHEL-7-20170130.t.0
Lenovo RD350 Bios Version: VB3TS381 (V3.81.0)
HP DL60 Bios Version: U15 v2.30 (09/12/2016)

How reproducible: 100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install QCI from iso
2. Boot Lenovo RD350 machines into foreman discovery mode
3. Start a RHV deployment with lenovo hosts as the engine and/or hypervisor

Actual results: Deployment fails while waiting for affected host(s) to boot the local disk and come online 


Expected results: pxeboot menu option to boot the local disk succeeds
Comment 1 Landon LaSmith 2017-02-02 18:42:18 UTC 
I updated the Lenovo RD350 bios to version 3.95 but the issue still persists.  As a workaround I updated Satellite provisioning template for "PXELinux default local boot" to add a default option for booting the local disk using "chain.c32 hd0"


<%#
kind: PXELinux
name: PXELinux default local boot
%>

<%# This template has special name (do not change it) and it is used for booting already provisioned hosts. %>

We can look at making this change to the template we seed for 1.2.
