Regarding grub requesting the same file 4 times, a surprising finding: I'm able to reproduce this with files of a certain length. By chance my grub.cfg was 1 byte shorter than the one maas serves (269 bytes instead of 270), and I saw multiple requests for this file.
To reproduce this in a VM using UEFI: - set up dhcp to point to bootx64.efi - set up tftp with bootx64.efi and grubx64.efi but not grub/grub.cfg - create files of varying sizes and access them using 'source (pxe)/config-file-on-server' A simple file consisting of nothing but newlines is sufficient. confirmed "good" file lengths: 1,2,3,4,266,268,270 confirmed "bad" file lengths: 267,269,271,584,595,627 No pattern established yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743249 Title: Failed Deployment after timeout trying to retrieve grub cfg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1743249/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
