Steps:
1. Create cluster in HA mode, flat nova-network (classic provisioning)
2. Add 1 node with controller role
3. Add 1 node with compute role
4. Run provisioning task
5. Run deployment task
6. Stop deployment

Expected - OS is erased on nodes and nodes are bootstrapped
Actual - nodes went to bootstrap but they they stucked on boot process (see attached screen)

Logs are attached

Matthew Mosesohn discovered this env and found such problems:

Need to figure out why it's writing config like this:

DEFAULT local
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 0
TOTALTIMEOUT 0
ONTIMEOUT local

LABEL local
# 0x80 works in VirtualBox -1 is the default one
# LOCALBOOT 0x80
# LOCALBOOT -1
    COM32 chain.c32
    APPEND hd0

netboot is disabled. Why?

[Vladimir Sharshov (vsharshov)]

Reproduced today. This screen with Booting... has been showed after ubuntu installation process finished.

[Mike Scherbakov (mihgen)]

I think this is Medium priority, not critical. There is a simple workaround: you can remove profile from cobbler and reboot the nodes. UX for workaround is not very straightforward, but this issue can probably be reproduced only under certain conditions too (cluster reset at certain time), so it doesn't happen very often.

[Ihor Kalnytskyi (ikalnytskyi)]

Mike, no, it's high at least. There's no workaround. The classic provisioning is completely broken. My investigation shows me, that there's no installed grub after provisioning.

    Fix syntax error in apt.conf.d/03force-ipv4

    Since Idc40f2ccf9fb8494b9b30c58775b38d9487ddcd4 we have a regression, so
    native ubuntu provisioning (debian installer) isn't working properly and
    after provisioning the nodes are hanged and unable to boot.

    That's happened due to syntax error in apt configuration so apt fails to
    install grub and other packages.

    Closes-Bug: #1447696
