Description David Sanz 2020-05-06 11:42:23 UTC 
Description of problem:

We cant follow installations of RHCOS on baremetal. HW provider requires special configuration of console, provided on PXE for installation as:

console=ttyS1,115200n8 console=tty0

The only line shown after booting is:

Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok                                          �


Watching at grub linux line, console configuration is different than especified on PXE:

console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHCOS 45.81.202005022156-0
Installer: 4.5.0-0.nightly-2020-05-06-003431

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Baremetal using PXE with custom console parameters
2.Check console line editing grub line before starting
3.

Actual results:
console parameters configured on PXE are not passed to grub

Expected results:
console parameters are considered to configure grub

This is mostly a dupe of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1712511 which started out as discussing how to change console settings, but has been repurposed for the general problem of persisting kargs.
