Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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.

Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2013-10-24 17:22:03 UTC

Ideally, after hitting enter at the grub menu, the screen should go blank and stay blank until the boot splash starts.

It comes pretty close, but I still occasionally see

"Booting a command list"

or

"Booting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Workstation, with kernel ...."

on the screen.  It doesn't seem to always happen.

We should make sure those messages don't show up before release (though not necessarly before beta).  I talked with Peter, and he's okay with this so setting devack+

I tried this and I didn't see any of those messages. Ray, could you also confirm that you don't have this problem anymore?

Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2014-03-10 14:46:30 UTC

yea i don't see them anymore either, so can probably go to VERIFIED

Comment 4 Ľuboš Kardoš 2014-03-11 07:03:39 UTC

Ok, so moving to verified.
