Description of problem:
Attempting to PXE boot the latest OpenShift 4.5.7 fails to read the initrd.img with this error message:

error: ../../grub-core/net/net.c:1795:timeout
'rhcos-4.5.6-x86-64-installer-initramfs.x86.64.img'

after which a kernel panic is produced (please see attached image).

How reproducible:
Always


Actual results:
Kernel panic

Expected results:
System can be installed without issue

Additional info:

Replacing grub64.efi from an earlier package (OpenShift 4.5.2) fixes the issue and the system can ne installed correctly.

From the Release Notes of OpenShift 4.5.7: 

    "Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS upgraded from 45.82.202007141718-0 to 45.82.202008150329-0"

Comment 1 Micah Abbott 2020-09-02 14:50:34 UTC 
Is it possible to PXE a RHEL 8 host in this environment?  RHCOS uses the same `grub` packages (i.e. grub2-common-2.02-87.el8_2) as found in RHEL 8, so I would expect to see the same problem when booting RHEL 8.

If you can confirm that RHEL 8 has the same problem, we can engage the RHEL grub team on this issue.

This may just be a dupe of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1871034

Marking this for an `UpcomingSprint` while we wait for additional information and triage.
Comment 4 Micah Abbott 2020-09-14 20:06:27 UTC 
Conservatively targeting for 4.7 with a low priority until we receive more information.
