ironic failed to deploy centos6 image

[MarginHu]

Hi,

I want to build a centos6 image for baremetal deployment, but found it failed when installing boot loader.

# generate image
disk-image-create dynamic-login centos baremetal dhcp-all-interfaces grub2 -o centos6.qcow2 --install-type=package

# error log when deploy image.

It seems that If I want to deploy baremetal with local boot, the image must contain grub2 package.

https://github.com/openstack/ironic-python-agent/blob/master/ironic_python_agent/extensions/image.py#L145

Centos6 has no grub2 package, I know my issue is not a true issue.
but why not report error when building image?

I found the error from build output.
