Hello everybody,

I am using Ironic standalone to provision the HPE Gen10+ node via iLO driver. Ironic version is 16.0.1. Server is configured with UEFI boot mode.

Everything on Ironic side works fine.  It creates ISO image, powers the server on and configures it to boot from it.

Here is the what /var/log/ironic/ironic-conductor.log says:

The Grub2 starts and after I select the option "boot_partition", it starts booting and immediately freezes with following screen (just red static underscore):

I have tried with pre-built IPA images (see below) as well as with custom IPA images made with Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 (built using ironic-python-agent-builder) but it is all the same.

Does somebody have idea what is the problem with IPA and UEFI in this particular scenario?
