see also related bug 1301104 We'll be supporting grubby for custom kernel arguments as described here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sec-Making_Persistent_Changes_to_a_GRUB_2_Menu_Using_the_grubby_Tool.html QE will verify this bug according to _comment 2_ with grubby tool to persist changes to the grub. Fabian, shouldn't this be targetted to 3.6 actually? We do need kernel arguments for VFIO passthrough and since this is mostly just documentation and testing it shouldn't be a big deal to support it on 7.2, right? We have a documented way of how to add kernel arguments to vintage RHEV-H: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/294393 To me this looks sufficient. It is sufficient indeed. Ok, so in 3.6 it's the "old" manual way described there, in 4.0 it's the grubby way Thank you for clarification Created attachment 1150752 [details]
kickstart file
Test the grubby way to add boot kernel arguments with ovirt-node-ng-installer-ovirt-4.0-2016042500.iso, the issue is verified successfully. Steps: 1. Install ovirt-node 4.0 in a machine with kickstart file 2. Login, then input CLI according to https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sec-Making_Persistent_Changes_to_a_GRUB_2_Menu_Using_the_grubby_Tool.html e.g : grubby --info=ALL grubby --remove-args="arg1 arg2" --args="argA argB" --update-kernel /boot/kernel-name grubby --info /boot/kernel-name 3. reboot to check the arguments are effected. Result: The added arguments are effected by using grubby way. So this bug is verified now, change the bug status to VERIFIED. oVirt 4.0.0 has been released, closing current release. |
