*Known problems and Work Arounds (Recurring from Alpha2)*



   - *Fail to deploy (boot) with UEFI*

MAAS seems to successfully install a system that's configured with UEFI,
however, the node will fail to boot. There's no work around at the moment
other than changing the system from UEFI to Legacy boot. This has only been
tested in one set of systems.

   - CentOS fails to deploy when deploying with LVM

MAAS will fail to deploy CentOS with LVM by default. This can be changed by
changing the Setting of the default deployment layout to Flat. This can be
done in the MAAS Settings page under the storage section.
