The operation times out immediately, because the Generation 2 VMs are missing the Programmable Interval Timer (PIT). The current version of grub still requires this interface to exist, in order to calculate time. [Test case] Attempt to boot a Generation 2 Hyper-V system from MAAS. [Regression potential] Since this changes the way timers are picked and used in grub, this may cause things depending on timers (timeout for various features, timeout for the GRUB menu, waiting for keyboard input to get in the menu) may be affected. Any wrong behavior in keyboard input validation for getting into the grub menu on boot should be considered a regression on this patch. --- There is a patch that uses the EFI SetTimer() available here: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?42944 and an alternative in the discussion here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2014-10/msg00016.html that uses pmtimer instead. I am aware that grub is a critical package. What is the official/proper way to fix this issue? Can a patched grubnetx64.efi be packaged with MaaS? Do we have to wait for this fix to merge?
