Description

Observation

openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP5-Migration-from-SLE15-SPx-ppc64le-offline_sles15sp2_ltss_media_basesys-srv_all_full_pre@ppc64le-hmc-single-disk fails in
bootloader

Instead of showing a GRUB menu the bootloader seems to try a TFTP boot and fails. Previous build 24.1 did show a GRUB menu:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9564819#step/bootloader/17

Other failuse in the Migration job group:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9682577#step/bootloader/17
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9680420#step/bootloader/17
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9680442#step/bootloader/17
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9680479#step/bootloader/17

Problem is spread over various job groups and also seen in the YaST Review:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9678721#step/bootloader_start/17
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9681333#step/bootloader_start/17
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9679952#step/bootloader_start/17
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9680258#step/bootloader_start/17
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9680264#step/bootloader_start/17
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/9680270#step/bootloader_start/17

Reproducible

Fails since (at least) Build 25.1 (current job)

Interesting detail is that only a part of the bootloader failures seem to be this problem wth trying TFTP.
There are other tests that show the GRUB bootmenu but then fail at a later step while typing the grup parameters
amd then get "error: timeout reading".

What the problems have in common is that they seem to occur on ppc64le-hmc-single-disk and ppc64-hmc-4disk only.

Expected result

Last good: 24.1 (or more recent)
