Hi Jeffrey,

Different firmware may have different search path, ironic takes a simple path to have a main grub.cfg to distribute a request to the correct configuration file with grub built-in variables, you can get detailed steps here [1].

hey guys,

I am testing a standalone ironic node on arm64 node through centos 7. Then dnsmasq is configured as following

``` enable-tftp tftp-root=/var/lib/ironic/public/boot/tftp

# dhcp-option=option:router,192.168.122.1 # use static dhcp-range=10.0.0.167,static,60s log-queries log-dhcp dhcp-match=set:efi-arm64,option:client-arch,11 dhcp-boot=tag:efi-arm64,grubaa64.efi ```

the grubaa64.efi file come from `/boot/efi/EFI/centos/grubaa64.efi` on centos 7

But seems grubaa64.efi file are trying different grub.cfg filename like `grub.cfg-xx-xx-xx-xx`( check bellow) Whereas ironic generate filename like `xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.conf`. Is this a bug in ironic? or I made something wrong?
