Doc Text:
Previously, booting for the first time failed after a new Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 installation was performed on HP DL360 Gen8. This was due to using invalid locale names, which caused a stack trace. The same problem also affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6's Subscription Manager. The problem has been fixed by using "C" as the default locale so that the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 first boot and Subscription Manager work as expected.

See attached screenshot showing subscription-manager-gui is properly rendered in the default local (en_US) despite the invalid requested locale (us).

Moreover, no Traceback occurs.
