.Warnings for deprecated kernel boot arguments
Anaconda boot arguments without the `inst.` prefix (for example, `ks`, `stage2`, `repo` and so on) are deprecated starting RHEL7. These arguments will be removed in the next major RHEL release.
With this release, appropriate warning messages are displayed when the boot arguments are used without the `inst` prefix. The warning messages are displayed in `dracut` when booting the installation and also when the installation program is started on a terminal.
Following is a sample warning message that is displayed on a terminal:
Deprecated boot argument `ks` must be used with the `inst.` prefix. Please use `inst.ks` instead.
Anaconda boot arguments without `inst.` prefix have been deprecated and will be removed in a future major release.
Following is a sample warning message that is displayed in `dracut`:
`ks` has been deprecated. All usage of Anaconda boot arguments without the `inst.` prefix have been deprecated and will be removed in a future major release. Please use `inst.ks` instead.

Upstream PR: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/2786 https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/2879 Tested using RHEL-8.4.0-20210210.d.2 with anaconda-33.16.4.11-1.el8 according to comment #0. The depracated message was clearly described, seting Verified: Tested. Added doc text. Set that as Enhacement because it's not a bug and I think they should be shown in the release notes. I hope the doc type is correct. Looks great to me. Thanks! Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
