OC nodes stuck in BUILD state on Ironic timeouts

[Giulio Fidente]

I am seeing the OC nodes stuck in BUILD state with the following in nova-compute log:

Feb 02 01:28:09 host-192-168-1-30 nova-compute[4714]: 2015-02-02 01:28:09,282 ERROR Error deploying instance 257eed8c-3aa4-401d-b32c-c061648e2a1c on baremetal node d4719eeb-de3e-4cce-b28f-7b711ae11dca.

and this in ironic-conductor log:

Feb 02 01:28:08 host-192-168-1-30 ironic-conductor[4016]: 2015-02-02 01:28:08,286 ERROR Timeout reached while waiting for callback for node d4719eeb-de3e-4cce-b28f-7b711ae11dca

Interestingly this is happening for all the three OC nodes, a symptomatic job: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/137028/11

Reproducing this locally,

I'm seeing tftp usage problems, will attach a screen shot if I can, in the meantime I'm testing a revert to a ironic patch that recently touched the boot options
