Private bug reported:
I am seeing a somewhat surprising behavior regarding device boot order
after installing Ubuntu 22.04 from PXE server. In most setups with PXE
as the 1st boot device in BIOS UEFI Boot Settings, installing OSes such
as RHEL, SLES from PXE server or virtual CD-ROM (using ISO image) on a
selected hard drive would result in a device boot order change after a
successful OS install and server reboot. After the server reboots, we
typically see the HDD/SSD (with the newly installed active partition)
take the place of the PXE device as the 1st boot device in BIOS UEFI
Boot Settings, and the system would boot directly to the OS bypassing
PXE boot (assuming no manual intervention) since the PXE device is now
2nd in the boot order. In addition to RHEL and SLES, I also see this
behavior after installing Ubuntu versions (such as 20.04) from virtual
CD-ROM and PXE server except for Ubuntu 22.04 installation from our PXE
server. Somehow the PXE device remains the 1st boot device after
installing Ubuntu 22.04 from our PXE server. In that particular case,
the system would eventually boots to Ubuntu 22.04 from the hard drive
after it boots to the PXE menu and timed out. So I don’t quite
understand why the boot order doesn’t change (for Ubuntu 22.04 PXE
install) compared with all the other OS versions and installation
methods. Even installing Ubuntu 22.04 using ISO image on virtual CD-
ROM would change the 1st boot device from PXE to disk. Could you shed
some light on this behavior?
Steps to repro:
1. Install 22.04 from PXE server
2. Reboot the system
Actual: Installing Ubuntu 22.04 from PXE server does not change the boot order
automatically. PXE device remains the 1st boot device after installing Ubuntu
22.04 from our PXE server.
Expectation: After installing Ubuntu 22.04 from PXE server, After the
server reboots system would boot directly to the OS bypassing PXE boot
(assuming no manual intervention).
