I ran qemu (in cosmic) with a cloud image and -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet,mac=$mymac -netdev user,id=mynet
and loaded the ofnet module. I then listed the network cards and the mac address was correctly recognized. I have not figured out how to PXE boot it yet, so net_default_mac was empty. But this experience leads me to believe that there are multiple interfaces and it might be looking at the wrong one. There does not seem to be any code in grub to generate random mac addresses. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1785859 Title: [REGRESSION] ppc64el grub in bionic may be auto-generating MAC address instead of using the assigned to the VM.
