From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7 Description of problem: During a PXE serial console installation the system is setted to boot from a serial console (for example agetty is activated in inittab). Unfortunately, grub starts without the "serial" and "terminal" options, and with graphical splash screen, so it's totally unusable on terminal devices, even with ones who have the "text to serial" option, as the HP Blade Servers. There's also no option during the install to disable the grub graphical splash screen. RH 8.0 has the correct behaviour. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH EL AS 2.1 with PXE boot 2. Select grub as your default boot manager 3. Restart after the installation Actual Results: There's no grub screen, and no possibility to modify the default options: if something is wrong in kernel parameters you have to reinstall everything... Expected Results: Grub loads with the serial option Additional info: RH 8.0 has the correct behaviour
