Bug Description

Brief Description
-----------------
Worker node is not installed after adding its personality in the controller of AIO-DX extended setup due to pxe timeout from worker for 21.05/installer-initrd. IN console I even see that there is error for "unable to mount rootfs"- snapshot of issue is attached.

This doesnot happens with all the HW but some. Same setup worked while I was having stx 4.0 but upgrading to stx 5.0 , worker personality is not coming up.

Severity
--------

Steps to Reproduce
------------------
1. COnfigure personality of the worker node in the controller
2. Worker node get issue of timeout

Expected Behavior
------------------
Worker node should be installed properly and come as locked+online

Actual Behavior
----------------
Error of unabel to install

Reproducibility
---------------
Not on all the cluster setup but I see intermittent. I changed my few HW as a worker but still get issues. But it also works for some HW boards.

I used SSD of 240 GB and had formated ssd before installing stx 5.0.

System Configuration
--------------------
AIO-DX extended setup

Branch/Pull Time/Commit
-----------------------
STX 5.0 Iso image

Workaround
----------

Some time it worked with repeated delete and add of worker host after rebooting worker again and again with formatting disk.
