System cannot be enlisted with the ephemeral release images

Console output attached.

so issue seems to be that /root/dev does not exist. I created /root/dev and was mount /dev:

(initramfs) mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw,size=16445592k,nr_inodes=4111398)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=16445608k,nr_inodes=4111402,mode=755)

(initramfs) ls /root
lib dev
(initramfs) mount /dev /root/dev
(initramfs)

same for sys and proc

Hi Narinder,

What hardware is this? What version of MAAS? How is your MAAS configured?

[ 0.000000] Command line: nomodeset netcfg/choose_interface=auto text priority=critical auto url=http://10.245.0.10/MAAS/metadata/latest/enlist-preseed/?op=get_enlist_preseed locale=en_US hostname=maas-enlist domain=oil log_host=10.245.0.10 log_port=514 -- console=ttyS1,115200 initrd=ubuntu/amd64/generic/trusty/release/boot-initrd BOOT_IMAGE=ubuntu/amd64/generic/trusty/release/boot-kernel BOOTIF=01-d4-ae-52-cb-c3-b8

In the provided console log in comment 2, you booted with the above kernel command line.
that would seem to imply that you were booting d-i.
normal ephemeral or enlistment parameters would have iscsi params like:

  iscsi_target_name=${target_name} iscsi_target_ip=$ipaddr
  iscsi_initiator=maas-enlist
  ip=::::maas-enlist:BOOTIF ro
  root=/dev/disk/by-path/ip-$ipaddr:$iport-iscsi-${target_name}-lun-1

Andres,
I can reproduce this on all HP hardware Gen8/Gen9 as well as virtual machine with MAAS Version 1.8.0+bzr4001-0ubuntu2 (trusty1). I was running MAAS version 1.7.1 and configured manually then upgrade it using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Scott Moser i am also getting the same kernel parameters during enlistment.

Looks like MAAS is not passing the iscsi parameters some how in this case.

Console files.. 1st one is from java console, 2nd is from serial console.

Andres, I tried patching the file with fix from this branch then restarting maas-regiond but I am still not seeing the server booting the ephemeral image during enlistment, and it eventually drops in initramfs shell. This is on a newly configured maas server on which I recreated issue. Maas version is 1.8.1.

You need to restart clusterd as well then it worked for me.

Great. Thanks Narinder. Works for me too!
