This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. Since we have another bug filed later but was cloned from one filed earlier just on this situation, I'm going to dupe this one to that one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 592080 *** |
Description of problem: The GRUB setting for timeout do not allow changes on firstboot. The installer must must into rescue mode to modify grub if debug changes are needed. Another issue is the the kernel commands entered during the install are not copied to the kernel command. timeout=0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Yes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Preform an basic install on any x86_64 system 2. Attempt kernel command setting In my case pcie_aspm=off 3. Attempt to change the command to pcie_aspm=on on firstboot Actual results: Default timeout=0 pcie_aspm is not on the kernel comman line in /boot/grub/menu.lst Expected results: The setting of timeout= 5 or more by default so that the user can stop grub to make changes. Additional info: Example of grub setting # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda3 # initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=0 serial --unit=1 --speed=115200 terminal --timeout=5 serial console #0 title Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 Snap 2 (2.6.32-23.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-23.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=781ef5c9-e550-485d-bba3-1a307343fb1a rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us console=ttyS1,115200N8 pcie_aspm=off crashkernel=256M initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-23.el6.x86_64.img
