RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: ovirt-node-3.0.1-14.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, a syslinux-extlinux package was missing from the RHEV-H channel. This meant edit-node couldn't be used to edit RHEV-H, because syslinux failed to complete. The package has been added to the RHEV-H channel so edit-node now works as expected.

Comment 6 Ying Cui 2013-11-27 11:05:49 UTC
This bug need to be added into ovirt-node 6.5 erratum with TestOnly.
We will check this bug again with RHEV-H 6.5 base image build, after verification with rhevh 6.5 base image build, we will change it to 'Verified' status. 

Now, change it back to ON_QA.

Comment 7 Fabian Deutsch 2014-01-09 12:05:28 UTC
Setting to modifed, will be back to ON_QA once it is added to the erratum.

Hi Pavel,
   ah...I checked your errata just now, you can change it to REL PREP, If errata has been request Docs, not yet approved, we still can change it to REL PREP, no need to wait doc approved yet.

FYI: http://wiki.test.redhat.com/ErrataWorkflow/ClosingErrata#FinalState


Thanks
Ying

Comment 20 Ying Cui 2014-02-14 07:57:48 UTC
syslinux errata RHBA-2013:16255 is REL_PREP now.

syslinux packages will be shipped live into RHEVH channel directly.

So this Testonly ovirt-node bug is fixed, and verified according to comment 16.

Comment 21 cshao 2014-02-17 02:47:50 UTC
Double confirm for this bug.

Syslinux errata RHBA-2013:16255 is SHIPPED LIVE - Closed now.

Result: 
syslinux-4.02-8.el6.x86_64 & syslinux-extlinux-4.02-8.el6.x86_64 & livecd-tools-13.4.4-1.el6_5:1.x86_64 get shipped in RHEV-H channel.
So the bug is fixed.
