Fixed In Version:	anaconda-34.25.0.25-1.el9	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	.`--leavebootorder` no longer changes boot order Previously, using `--leavebootorder` for the bootloader kickstart command did not work correctly on UEFI systems and changed the boot order. This caused the installer to add RHEL at the top of the list of installed systems in the UEFI boot menu. This update fixes the problem and using `--leavebootorder` no longer changes the boot order in the boot loader. `--leavebootorder` is now supported on RHEL for UEFI systems.	Story Points:	---

Comment 5 Vladimír Slávik 2021-11-26 15:38:54 UTC

PR with changes: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3726

Marked as "needs manual testing" due to need for testing on a real machine. The VMs we normally use do not persist UEFI vars or some such.

Comment 7 Vladimír Slávik 2021-11-30 18:02:40 UTC

PR is now marked as mergeable, waiting for a build so the QE can test.

Comment 12 Jan Stodola 2022-01-26 17:32:20 UTC

Confirmed with anaconda-34.25.0.25-1.el9 that:
* bootloader --leavebootorder in the kickstart file doesn't change the boot order
* inst.leavebootorder on the kernel command line doesn't change the boot order
* the boot order is changed and the system boots from disk if leavebootorder is not applied in kickstart or kernel cmdline

Tested on a physical UEFI machine.

Marking as Verified:Tested.

Comment 16 Jan Stodola 2022-01-28 16:34:00 UTC

Checked that anaconda-34.25.0.25-1.el9 is in nightly compose RHEL-9.0.0-20220127.4
Doc text and doc type matches.
No further testing is needed during verification based on comment 1
