Public bug reported: The root cause of this issue is that curtin sets the worng --bootloader-id parameter for the grub2-install command. The command that curtin builds is : "grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=rhel --recheck --no-nvram" but it should be : "grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=redhat --recheck --no-nvram"
The bootloader-id is set to "rhel" because curtin reads the ID field of /etc/os-release file. For more info look at https://git.launchpad.net/curtin/tree/curtin/commands/install_grub.py#n250 and https://git.launchpad.net/curtin/tree/curtin/distro.py#n116 However RHEL ditros use redhat instead of the os_variant rhel for the bootid. This was resolved in helpers/common install_grub command the following way : centos|redhat|rhel) grubcmd="grub2-install" # RHEL uses redhat instead of the os_variant rhel for the bootid. if [ "$bootid" = "rhel" ]; then bootid="redhat" fi Commit 7310b4fe61465 (Replace grub-shell-helper with install_grub command) replaces the shell install_grub command from helpers/common with the equivalent in curtin/commands/install_grub.py and the above bit was left outside. ** Affects: curtin Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of curtin developers, which is subscribed to curtin. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906543 Title: MAAS fails to deploy RHEL images Status in curtin: New Bug description: The root cause of this issue is that curtin sets the worng --bootloader-id parameter for the grub2-install command.
