possibly grub2 needs to be installed in the ironic-conductor package

hmm, ironic in mitaka may be not usable. Do u have any chance to try newton branch? it should work.

[Waldemar Znoinski (wznoinsk)]

I actually have an ironic in production based on mitaka and trusty in containers (with all the fixes later submitted and merged in mitaka and newton)

I do have boot_option:local working now tho, I think (long shot) it was a problem with the image as I was using a non-tested one back then, it's working now with trusty as deploy image + xenial as user image

[Waldemar Znoinski (wznoinsk)]

+ installing grub in ironic_conductor

not sure whether we should back port firx for this to mitaka/newton at all tho

[Jeffrey Zhang (jeffrey4l)]

I think you can push a fix to fix mitaka directly.

[Waldemar Znoinski (wznoinsk)]

I'm sorry but I won't have time for this work in a foreseeable future. It would be great if someone could port it to mitaka.
