Title:
  baremetal kernel boot options make console inaccessible on ILO
  environments

Status in OpenStack Bare Metal Provisioning Service (Ironic):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released
Status in tripleo - openstack on openstack:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The default behaviour for Ubuntu is to modeset into a high res text
  mode, but ILO doesn't support those modes -showing 'console is in a
  graphical mode' if you try textcons at that point.

  This can be worked around by adding 'vga=normal nomodeset' to the
  kernel boot options, which should be harmless on non-Ubuntu
  environments, so having this as a default would be very useful.

  workaround: edit the template you are using or set pxe_append_params
  in nova.conf.
