Comment 25 for bug 1900668

@axino

I'm tried the default grub, which appears to be the one synced from maas.io stream which is in fact bionic-updates grub 2.02 signed net x64 efi app.

I have downloaded the hirsute 2.04 signed net x64 efi app and replaced it at

/var/snap/maas/common/maas/boot-resources/snapshot-20210112-205807/bootloader/uefi/amd64/grubx64.efi

(there are many other files called that, which ultimately after all symlinks point there)

then i also unsquashfs maas snap, and changed the templates to echo the full version number of grub on boot.

Specifically tweaked

./lib/python3.8/site-packages/provisioningserver/templates/uefi/config.local.amd64.template

to have:

echo "XNOX... ${package_version}"

Then deployed machines whilst monitoring the console over BMC to confirm that deployments happen with XNOX... 2.04-1ubuntu37

I wonder if i'm using some other NIC? I see on my ps5 nodes that there are 5 NICs available and pxe is configured for me over eno1 1 Gbps link.
