[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1792575@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package shim-signed - 1.37~18.04.2

---------------
shim-signed (1.37~18.04.2) bionic; urgency=medium

  * debian/control: add Breaks: grub-efi-amd64-signed (<< 1.93.7), as the new
    version of shim exercises a bug in relocation code for chainload that was
    fixed in that upload of grub, affecting Windows 7, Windows 10, and some
    netboot scenarios where chainloading is required. (LP: #1792575)

shim-signed (1.37~18.04.1) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Backport shim-signed 1.37 to Ubuntu 18.04. (LP: #1790724)

shim-signed (1.37) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * Update to the signed 15+1533136590.3beb971-0ubuntu1 binary from Microsoft.
  * debian/real-po: replace debian/po to make sure things are translatable
    via Launchpad.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Chainloading grub via grub in a netboot context using MAAS's Boot to local disk feature.

  [Test cases]
  1) Deploy UEFI system using MAAS
  2) After deployment, have the system reboot to local disk (via netboot).

  [Regression potential]
  It is possible that the changes to chainloading logic that evaluates the sizes for various sections of code that gets copied to memory to load the next bootloader might fail to correctly evaluate the sections, or otherwise copy sections incorrectly, but this regression scenario is indistinguishable from the current case, there the system fails to load the next bootloader anyway. Error messages may vary, but the net result for a regression would be an incorrectly loaded bootloader, and thus error messages at boot from grub.

  ---

  We have had several nodes that had been deployed on Sept. 12 and were
  booting correctly fail to boot.

  On the console and during tracing we could see they were getting dhcp
  and pxe information, but then errored out with "relocation failed",
  dropping into a fallback grub menu with a Local boot option.

  After copying over bootx64.efi grubx64.efi from
  https://images.maas.io/ephemeral-v3/daily/bootloaders/uefi/amd64/20180906.0/
  instead of 20180913.0/ and rebooting, boot would commence
  successfully.

  Hardware: Dell R640
  maas 2.3.5-6511-gf466fdb-0ubuntu1~16.04.1
