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 Bill Nottingham 2013-10-29 20:00:25 UTC
Created attachment 817167 [details]
created anaconda-ks.cfg

Description of problem:

I have a two disk system. I chose to install to the second disk (selected second disk, chose autopart).

anaconda created, without warning, a system that would not boot unless I went into the bios and switched the boot order. (It just continued to boot the first disk.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

20131029 nightly

Comment 3 David Cantrell 2013-12-13 18:24:12 UTC
(From pjones):

I think it's NOTABUG. We have no way of knowing the FW boot order (AFAIK) except on EDD systems, so there's no way for us to claim we know whether the system will be bootable or not.
