Description Satyajit Das 2023-02-22 13:54:59 UTC
Description of problem:

Post upgrade to 6.12.2-1, (full-host-bootdisk) generated with static IP failed to boot on EFI firmware and ends in grub prompt due to syntax error.
As the auto-attached boot disk uses the fullhost image the same behavior is observed.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

satellite-6.12.2-1.el8sat

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Upgrade the satellite with the latest patches i.e satellite-6.12.2-1.el8sat
2. Create a subnet with all the required info and set the Boot Mode to static.
3. Generate fullhost image with "PXEloader=Grub2 UEFI"

Actual results:

Provisioning fails due to syntax error and ends in GRUB>


Expected results:

Fullhost image with static IP should be able to boot on EFI firmware.

Comment 1 Jürgen Becker 2023-02-22 14:27:13 UTC
Additional Info: Encapsulating the url in quotes like this:  ks="http://satellite.example.com/unattended/provision?static=1&token=98aab8f2-0a19-40f0-a7f6-4ae4ba7f66de" would solve the issue

Comment 2 Sayan Das 2023-02-22 15:15:17 UTC
I have a feeling https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/9631 was created for this issue only. 

Upstream discussion: https://community.theforeman.org/t/foreman-uefi-provisioning-grub-failure/30577 


Perhaps Leos can confirm . Looping him.

Comment 3 Leos Stejskal 2023-02-23 08:09:24 UTC
Encapsulating the URL brakes PXE+BIOS provisioning [0], the correct fix is to escape & character. 
Upstream PR [1] have been merged, and for 6.13 cherry-pick is ready for review [2].

Hi,
yeah I believe we can close the BZ as a duplicate,
the root cause is clearly same as in the https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2168967.
