Steps to reproduce:

  1. Clone the most recent version of packer-maas
  2. Build a custom image using a command similar to the following:
packer build -var ubuntu_series=mantic -var kernel=linux-image-6.5.0-10-generic -only='cloudimg.*' .
  1. Import the image into MAAS using a command similar to:
maas ${PROFILE} boot-resources create name='custom/mantic-2023-12-05-11-22' \
  title='Mantic 6.5 2023-12-05-11-22' architecture='amd64/generic' \
  filetype='tgz' content@=mantic-6.5-cloudimg-20231205-1122.tar.gz
  1. Deploy. The machine will not boot due to missing kernel image and initramfs in the /boot directory.

This was reported by a client and I was able to reproduce with MAAS 3.3.5. Deployment was tested using a KVM virtual machine and a DELL R240 server both configured with UEFI boot mode.

@alanbach
Ubuntu/Cloudimg: Register and then install custom
fe97a52 
kernels in-target at deployment time.

This fixes unbootable machines due to
missing kernel image and initrd in
/boot.
