Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.] This report targets FC5, which is now end-of-life. Please re-test against Fedora 7 or later, and if the issue persists, open a new bug. Thanks |
Description of problem: grubby or new-kernel-pkg don't apply existing xen 'kernel' arguments to newly installed kernels when munging grub.conf. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mkinitrd-5.0.29-1 kernel-xen0-2.6.15-1.2029_FC5 kernel-xen0-2.6.15-1.2032_FC5 kernel-xen0-2.6.15-1.2029_FC5 is installed, with the following relavent grub.conf stanza: title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2029_FC5xen0) root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.15-1.2029_FC5 com1=115200,8n1 module /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2029_FC5xen0 ro root=LABEL=/1 console=ttyS0 console=tty0 module /initrd-2.6.15-1.2029_FC5xen0.img No other versions of kernel-xen0 are initially installed. Install a newer kernel-xen0: rpm -ihv 2.6.15-1.2032_FC5/i686/kernel-xen0-2.6.15-1.2032_FC5.i686.rpm warning: 2.6.15-1.2032_FC5/i686/kernel-xen0-2.6.15-1.2032_FC5.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:kernel-xen0 ########################################### [100%] ... new grub.conf stanza looks like: title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2032_FC5xen0) root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.15-1.2032_FC5 module /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2032_FC5xen0 ro root=LABEL=/1 console=ttyS0 console=tty0 module /initrd-2.6.15-1.2032_FC5xen0.img note that the options "com1=115200,8n1" to the 'kernel' line were not copied. How reproducible: every time, behavior is not random. Expected results: kernel options are copied when new kernel is installed.
