Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
RN content: Previously, in UEFI mode, the ironic-python-agent created a UEFI bootloader entry after downloading the RHCOS image. When using an RHCOS image based on RHEL 8.4, the image could fail to boot using this entry, depending on the ordering of UEFI entries. If the entry installed by Ironic was used when booting the image, the boot could fail and output a BIOS error screen. This is fixed by the ironic-python-agent configuring the boot entry based on a CSV file located in the image, instead of using a fixed boot entry. The image boots properly without error. ----- Cause: In UEFI mode, after downloading the RHCOS image, the ironic-python-agent creates a UEFI bootloader entry. When using an RHCOS image based on RHEL 8.4, the image may fail to boot using this entry. Consequence: Depending on the ordering of UEFI entries, if the entry installed by Ironic is used when booting the image the boot may fail and output a BIOS error screen. Fix: The ironic-python-agent will configure the boot entry based on a CSV file located in the image instead of using a fixed boot entry. Result: The image boots properly without an error.
