Comment 16 for bug 1805920

Hi Vern,

Could you confirm something to us. WHen you say that the customer deployed centos 7 and were able to see the issue there, did you mean that they saw the issue in the packets themselves? In other words, CentOS7 deployed successfully but the packets still had the VLAN tag?

The reason I ask is because centos7 ipxe includes a patch that strips the vlan tag. So I'm wondering if that allows VMs on a CentOS 7 host to PXE boot without failing?

Anyhow, I've made a version of ipxe for Ubuntu with the centos patch in ppa:andreserl/maas. I've not tested it, but if you could take a look and test if that would fix the issue, then we could push that to Ubuntu.

Anyhow, we need to talk to the kernel folks to figure this one out.
