Description
IBM Bug Proxy

IBM is signed up to test and provide feedback, setting OtherQA. This feature will not make 6.2 and has been moved to the 6.3 list for consideration at that time.

We need a lot more details on this request before it can be evaluated as a possibility. Peter: FYI, IBM's Bugzilla currently has a bug in it that clears the NEEDINFO field without the IBM folks seeing it. I'm sending email to my contacts to get your questions answered. ------- Comment From mknutson.com 2012-03-23 09:54 EDT------- pjones@redhat..... Not sure if Kelvin, or Kevin got the needinfo request. All x86 based IBM systems for the past few years run using UEFI - not legacy mode (BIOS). We need the Default boot option in RHEL to use UEFI first and always and to function flawlessly - and not jump to legacy mode (BIOS) first. (or ever if possible) We will eventually drop the BIOS legacy setting in systems and need UEFI running perfectly before that happens. Please set UEFI as the default for first boot and complete RH internal testing using UEFI always in any situation. We and other vendors have provided plenty of HW for you to use to fully implement this industry standard. Any other questions please feel free to ask.
