Nodes are not bootable using PXE

[Sergey Arkhipov]

On MOS 8.0, build 307 and 327 nodes are unbootable using PXE because of TFTP issues, please check attached screenshots.

Problem is reproducible using baremetal and ESXI environments.

VERSION:

This was introduced by https://review.openstack.org/#/c/258734/ to use iPXE for loading bootstrap. Marking as regression-8.0

[Dmitry Bilunov (dbilunov)]

I would propose switching to lpxelinux - it won't require firmware modifications and uses a stable enough lwIP stack.

[Maksim Malchuk (mmalchuk)]

as a workaround until the bugfix were released:

[root@fuel /]# dockerctl shell cobbler
[root@fuel /]# sed -e '/dhcp-option-force=210/ s/^#*/#/' -i /etc/dnsmasq.d/default.conf
[root@fuel /]# service dnsmasq restart
[root@fuel /]# exit

this is work until the cobbler syncs again

    ROM firmware is optional now

    ROM firmware is optional now and should be used only by user choice.
    It should be named as 'FirmwareName.isarom' placed under 'drivers/' directory.
    In the same directory placed an example firmware and some information.
