Description John Matthews 2009-07-13 16:03:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
I am attempting to kickstart a RHTS box.  I want to keep the kernel options used during it's initial setup.

The box was kickstarted with these options:
--append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200"

I attempted to set them in the /rhn/kickstart/KickstartDetailsEdit.do page.
When I submit the form, the first "console=tty0" option/value is dropped.

This is verified when looking at the kickstart file itself.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new kickstart profile
2. Edit both kernel and post kernel options
3. Set string to:  "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200"
4. Submit form
  
Actual results:
kernel params come back as: "console=ttyS0,115200"

Expected results:
"console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200"
Also need to verify: Actual kickstart file at rhn/kickstart/KickstartFileDownload.do?ksid=  is rendered with correct options

Cobbler cannot currently do this. As such - we will not be able to provide this capability for 530 GA. Moving off proposed for 530.
