The IPA ramdisk fails to boot on UEFI compute nodes with iPXE. We see the following error on the console, followed by a kernel panic: Fix kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0) The cause is the lack of an initrd=ironic-agent.initramfs kernel argument in inspector.ipxe. The initrd argument is present in the kolla-ansible version of inspector.ipxe, and now contains all parameters that we need (since Rocky), so this change simply removes our custom template, and passes through the extra kernel argument option configuration value.

Kayobe
Kayobe enables deployment of containerised OpenStack to bare metal.
Containers offer a compelling solution for isolating OpenStack services, but running the control plane on an orchestrator such as Kubernetes or Docker Swarm adds significant complexity and operational overheads.
The hosts in an OpenStack control plane must somehow be provisioned, but deploying a secondary OpenStack cloud to do this seems like overkill.
Kayobe stands on the shoulders of giants:
- OpenStack bifrost discovers and provisions the cloud
- OpenStack kolla builds container images for OpenStack services
- OpenStack kolla-ansible delivers painless deployment and upgrade of containerised OpenStack services
To this solid base, kayobe adds:
- Configuration of cloud host OS & flexible networking
- Management of physical network devices
- A friendly openstack-like CLI
All this and more, automated from top to bottom using Ansible.
