Public bug reported:

Over the past few days, I attempted to install a new ampere altra server
with Ubuntu 22.04 via MaaS, the 22.04 arm image will not PXE boot/boot
loops on the altra. 20.04 will PXE boot and install to the hard drive,
but on subsequent boots, the image will not boot unless pxe booted first
and then fall back to local GRUB on the disk - which seems to workaround
the UEFI issue at boot.

The system is running a supermicro build of the v2.10 altra SCP, and I
think that's wherein the issue lays. There is a likely related patch
here:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-
kernel/camj1kxety24d8syukkix7nr0pax2vzdvelnc64bz65ughup...@mail.gmail.com/T/

I am wondering if that or similar is incorporated/can be incorporated
into the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release image.

Also, noted that the rescue image for MaaS fails with "bad magic number"
