The updated URL to that linux16 patch is https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grub2/blob/master/f/0099-Use-linux16-when-appropriate-880840.patch @FeRD: the link in 3 generates a 404 for me. You could make it an attachment to this bz. (In reply to D. Hugh Redelmeier from comment #5) > @FeRD: > the link in 3 generates a 404 for me. > > You could make it an attachment to this bz. Hmm, seems that URL is a 404 because the commit in question is no longer in the commit history for the grub2 package, oddly... at least, it's not on the master branch of the Fedora repo (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grub2/commits/master), or any other branch I could find — it must've succumbed to some history-rewriting at some point. Anyway, the point of the original link was to show that the issue was a local change being introduced into the grub source, rather than coming from upstream. The patch itself which was trivial, there'd be little point in attaching it here, especially as it's no longer applied in the tree. (That part of grub2's config-generating code isn't even used anymore, now that boot entries live in separate /boot/loader/entries/ files instead of in the grub.cfg. If there's a way to control the kernel booting in 16-bit mode or not, with the current BLS-driven boot process, it doesn't appear to be done from a config file anymore.) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 shipped it's final minor release on September 29th, 2020. 7.9 was the last minor releases scheduled for RHEL 7. From intial triage it does not appear the remaining Bugzillas meet the inclusion criteria for Maintenance Phase 2 and will now be closed. From the RHEL life cycle page: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Maintenance_Support_2_Phase "During Maintenance Support 2 Phase for Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7,Red Hat defined Critical and Important impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected (at Red Hat discretion) Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available." If this BZ was closed in error and meets the above criteria please re-open it flag for 7.9.z, provide suitable business and technical justifications, and follow the process for Accelerated Fixes: https://source.redhat.com/groups/public/pnt-cxno/pnt_customer_experience_and_operations_wiki/support_delivery_accelerated_fix_release_handbook Feature Requests can re-opened and moved to RHEL 8 if the desired functionality is not already present in the product. Please reach out to the applicable Product Experience Engineer[0] if you have any questions or concerns.
