This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. I laid out the particular nographics issues bz 230841. Its actually a xen bug as far as I can tell, since it doesn't truly honor a nographics request. We can use this bug to track the original proposed change, which I'm fine with: if selecting hvm just default to vnc with no prompt since current other options are broken. Hmm, looks like 230841 is going to be fixed, so if any action should be taken for this bug it's probably to disable sdl. I don't see why any action needs to be taken - both paravirt and fullyvirt support install via text console, VNC and SDL. Sometimes one or more of those options is not available, due to specifics of the guest OS being installed, or the way the admin has configure the host, but its not virt-install's job to define that policy Okay, per dan's comment and the fact that nographics should work for hvm guests in 5.3, i'm just going to close this NOTABUG. |
