[rdo-list] UEFI support Mitaka

[Charles Short]

Hi,

I am using TripleO to deploy Stable Mitaka  on HP BL460c Gen9 blades.

I set my config up for grub2 (not Elilo) UEFI  iPXE mode as per  -

http://docs.openstack.org/project-install-guide/baremetal/draft/setup-drivers.html

In UEFI mode I get a kernel panic on iPXE boot during introspection when 
I use the pre-built Mitaka CentOS images ( 
http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/cloud/x86_64/tripleo_images/mitaka/delorean/)
If I try building my own images with the latest CentOS cloud image I 
have the same problem.

If I replace the kernel with the latest kernel from ELRepo then all 
works fine and I can introspect and create a working stack.

This thread sort of explains the issue -

http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=7813

So It looks like this issue is fixed in a kernel that does not yet ship 
with CentOS.

Has anyone else been struggling with this?

I am probably going to revert to HP legacy BIOS mode as I don't want to 
run my stack on a non standard setup.

Thanks

Charles
