[rdo-list] tripleo centos7 images missing linux-firmware package

[Christopher Brown]

Hi Ilja,

Whilst it doesn't help fix the underlying issue, as a workaround you
can use virt-customize to add this package in prior to uploading the
overcloud image which is a fairly trivial task.

E.g.

$ virt-customize -a overcloud-full.qcow2 --install linux-firmware

...

$ openstack overcloud image upload --update-existing

This article is a good reference although it requires a Red Hat
account:
