RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:


According to QE's test case when tboot is installed and grub configured to boot the kernel with tboot the title should be updated to read something like:

title Red Hat Enterprise Linux w/ tboot (.....)


This is not the case.

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

tboot-1.8.3-2 fixes this problem.

# rpm -qa | grep -w tboot
tboot-1.8.3-3.el6.x86_64
tboot-debuginfo-1.8.3-2.el6.x86_64

# grep -i '^title.*tboot' /etc/grub.conf
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 tboot (2.6.32-621.el6.x86_64)

# rpm -qa | grep -w tboot
tboot-1.8.3-2.el6.x86_64
# grep -i '^title.*tboot' /etc/grub.conf
# 

Seems that tboot-1.8.3-3 (in comment 5 rpm output) fixes this problem, but tboot-1.8.3-2 not.

I'm pushing this out to 6.9, as it's unlikely that I'll be able to address it in time for 6.8.

There is currently no way for the existing grub 0.97 to create a stanza indicating that it is a tboot launch. 

If the user provisions the system with tboot as one of the install options, then the user should know that his system will launch through tboot. 

If the user installs tboot after provisioning the system, s/he would have to add the tboot stanza by editing the /boot/grub/grub.conf file anyway, and could indicate that it is a tboot launch in the title line of the new stanza.
