proposed patch
We agreed to change scope a bit:
* GRUB_TIMEOUT typo has been fixed in yaboot content--as was meant
originally, but fix of the UEFI content has been postponed (so that
we don't need docs now--only yaboot part is affected, which is not
related to an officially supported arch),
* the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line has been changed to something more
useful,
* although comment has been added to notify user that they will need
to rewrite the line anyway.
Verified on ppc64 (only relevant arch, albeit not officially supported.) Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2015-1608.html |

Both texts contain the same typo: name of `GRUB_TIMEOUT` variable being truncated by 2 chars. Version-Release number of selected component ============================================ preupgrade-assistant-contents-0.6.32-4.el6.noarch How reproducible ================ Always Steps to Reproduce ================== 1.
