Feature #23861
Template pxegrub2_chainload issue with UEFI + SuSE
Difficulty:
Triaged:
Description
When a newly provisioned SuSE node boots for the first time, after the initial installation, the chainload Grub2 EFI from ESP fails (because the grubx64.efi file can't be found).
The SuSE UEFI bootloader can be found at this location:
- SLES:
($root)/EFI/sles/grubx64.efi
- OpenSuSE:
($root)/EFI/opensuse/grubx64.efi
This problem can be fixed easily by extending the "paths" array within the pxegrub2_chainload template e.g.:
6c6 < paths = ["fedora", "redhat", "centos", "debian", "ubuntu", "Microsoft", "EFI"] --- > paths = ["fedora", "redhat", "centos", "debian", "ubuntu", *"sles"*, *"opensuse"*, "Microsoft", "EFI"]

Updated by Please note, that in my example there are some * characters, which should't be there (my mistake) ... so the array is supposed to look more like this:
6c6 < paths = ["fedora", "redhat", "centos", "debian", "ubuntu", "Microsoft", "EFI"] --- > paths = ["fedora", "redhat", "centos", "debian", "ubuntu", "sles", "opensuse", "Microsoft", "EFI"]

maybe pxegrub_chainload.erb also can get extended.
