From ea7e4372417228cd808fe7c3373faff24cd118b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 14:35:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix: network-first boot order, OVMF dispatch chain working - Kickstart %post now restores network-first EFI boot order (undoes Anaconda's disk-first default). Grep pattern includes HTTP boot entries. - Test force-restarts VM after install so OVMF rereads NVRAM. - VM successfully network-boots after install, hits /dispatch, bastion returns exit (local boot). Confirmed in test logs. - nofail on /boot/efi fstab entry prevents emergency mode. - Remaining: Fedora disk boot after iPXE exit may still fail.
