Trying to use the new Ironic Python Agent deployment ramdisk w/ the latest Ironic. The deployment seems to go fine, the instances goes to an ACTIVE state and all looks well. After provisioning however the machine never seems to boot (this is a real machine). The issue seems to be that IPA shuts down the compute, Ironic conductor then sends a POWER_ON... but with some power drivers (I'm using iboot, but probably any "external" power controller too) the machine stays in a offline state (it has power, but isn't booted). This is because I rely on an actual power reboot (physical power has to be cycled in order for the machines to know it needs to boot, this is how I configure it in the BIOS).
