UEFI is enabled and default boot option.
MAAS web interface shows /boot/efi partition after successful commission.

Hi there,

Seems that the path's are not correct on the curtin hooks. We will need to investigate and try to reproduce on similar hardware.

[bryanb229 (bryanb229)]

Any updates, thoughts, comments from anyone on this issue?

[Andres Rodriguez (andreserl)]

Hi All,

The issue is when booting UEFI and not with Legacy. We are working on getting a fix for this though. We are targeting this to be fixed by next week.

Thanks!

I can confirm I have exactly the same issue with MAAS Version 2.1.3+bzr5573-0ubuntu1
Switching the box to legacyBIOS is a useful workaround.

[bryanb229 (bryanb229)]

Checking back to see if there is any update on this bug. I am able to install both Ubuntu 14 & 16 w/ the UEFI option, but neither CentOS 6.6 or 7. If I switch back to BIOS boot mode, it will still work w/ both Ubuntu 14/16 and CentOS 6.6, but not 7. Is anyone else having similar issue?

[Matt Jarvis (matt-jarvis)]

I have the same problem on an OrangeBox. This is also customer impacting as we have customers wanting to use CentOS on UEFI machines.

Even if the directory structure exists, I'm now seeing the below error when deploying CentOS 7. From what I understand the grub2-efi-modules needs to be installed in the image.

 grub2-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.

[Andres Rodriguez (andreserl)]

We believe this issue has now been fixed. This is made available in the latest MAAS CentOS 7 images.

Thanks.

I just tried to do the Centos 7 deployment and it is still hanging on the Web UI. The OS install finishes on the server, but with localhost as the hostname, so this still seems to be an issue.
