Bug Description

I tried to deploy RockyLinux through MAAS 3.1 by using latest curtin installer version (21.3-14-g9ef03d7f-0ubuntu1~focal) - https://launchpad.net/~dbungert/+archive/ubuntu/curtin-lp-1955671

I am getting the below error message while boot the OS. Facing same issue for both UEFI and Legacy BIOS mode.

BOOT ERROR MESSAGE:
===================
error: ../../grub-core/fs/fshelp.c:258:file
'/boot/vmlinux-4.18.0-305.25.1.el8_4.x86_64' not found.
error: ../../grub-core/loader/i386/efi/linux.c:94:you need to load the kernel first.

Failed to boot both default and fallback entries.

I tried with below storage layouts:

Not working layout:
1G - ext4 - /boot
512MB - fat32 - /boot/efi
16G - swap
100G - ext4 - /

Working layout:
512MB - fat32 - /boot/efi
16G - swap
100G - ext4 - /

I am facing the boot issue if I create a separate /boot partition. Also facing same issue if I use xfs filesystem for /boot or / partition. Need your help to fix the RockyLinux boot issue.
