Description Perry Myers 2011-12-14 14:39:51 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #767623 +++

Description of problem:
Kernel version is probably one of the more important things to have handy when looking at an oVirt Node image.  Putting the kernel version in the ISO name would make the ISO name pretty long, but we could put the kernel version in the getty login prompt and also perhaps in the grub menu somewhere.  This would make for easier identification for users

Comment 1 Mike Burns 2011-12-14 15:26:57 UTC
From upstream, we already have kernel info in the getty prompt:

oVirt Node Hypervisor release 2.1 (0.fc16)
Kernel 3.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64 on an x86_64 (ttyS0)
Virtualization hardware is unavailable.
(No virtualization hardware was detected on this system)
