bare metal: tftp prefix can cause the cloud not find kernel image

[yangzhenyu]

hi,
   I boot a baremetal instance, but it has a error "could not find a kernel image" in the PXE . I check the file "/tftpboot/UUID/config":
    label deploy
    kernel /tftpboot/8cbe34a2-d7d0-44b2-a148-adb7d23bb3fb/deploy_kernel

   so I modify it :
     label deploy
     kernel 8cbe34a2-d7d0-44b2-a148-adb7d23bb3fb/deploy_kernel

   and then the PXE can work ok.

    My version is Havana.

I think should delete the prefix "/tftpboot/" in this path:
pxe.py
def build_pxe_config(deployment_id, deployment_key, deployment_iscsi_iqn,
                      deployment_aki_path, deployment_ari_path,
                      aki_path, ari_path, network_info):

                    ...
                    pxe_options = {
                                                ...
                                               'deployment_aki_path': deployment_aki_path,
                                               'deployment_ari_path': deployment_ari_path,
                                               'aki_path': aki_path,
                                               'ari_path': ari_path,
                                                ...
                                                 }

      when I start deploy the os, I chose the "Hard drive" as a installation method . It point no hard drives and tell me configure additional devices. so I use sda but has a error "Faild to mount driver disk".why? Whether it is a problem with my image?

We are on the process of deprecating nova baremetal in favor of ironic.

Are you sure this bug can be reproduced on Ironic? AFAIK we have it correct for now. Feel free to reopen the bug against Ironic, if you see a different behaviour.

I met this problem recently which was same to the discription, and also can not reproduce it again in Mitaka version. Does someone know how to deal with it?
