Description Derek Higgins 2021-06-10 15:44:39 UTC

This bug is to track an ironic workaround for a bug being investigated in shim
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1966129


When deploying a whole disk image, IPA creates a boot entry for for any bootloader it finds on the EFI system partition.

In RHEL (and possibly others) it finds a bootloader in
/boot/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
and creates a boot entry for it

This does not match the entry that RHEL expects to see, RHEL expects an entry pointing to \EFI\redhat\shimx64.efi using a label read from BOOTX64.CSV

BOOTX64.EFI and shimx64.efi are the same file but behave differently depending on their filename and a bug in the shim code is causing it to crash on boot (sometimes) if referenced as \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI

IPA should instead find shimx64.efi and create an entry that the OS expects (based on the contents of /boot/efi/redhat/BOOTX64.CSV)

Failing entry
Boot0026* ironic1 HD(2,GPT,3b6e914a-f943-4f30-9f2d-4cb92848d7eb,0x1000,0x3f800)/File(\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI)

Expected entry
Boot0024* Red Hat Enterprise Linux HD(2,GPT,3b6e914a-f943-4f30-9f2d-4cb92848d7eb,0x1000,0x3f800)/File(\EFI\redhat\shimx64.efi)

Closing as a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1966129. That bug has the full investigation info, the fix and it moved back from RHEL/shim to Ironic.
