Note: only happens, when there is no "root=..." parameter *** Bug 1014463 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 817550 [details] serial console log with rd.debug (In reply to Harald Hoyer from comment #3) > Note: only happens, when there is no "root=..." parameter This happens during install. I am not sure who/when that option is added during install. I believe Anaconda adds it to the 'kernel command line' with a grubby command. In my configuration. I have a iBFT entry and a local disk. Once the install is complete, I review which disks were used. It never even tried to use the iSCSI disk. It was like Anaconda was unaware that I wanted to use iSCSI. If I reinstall, modify the pxe entry and add in rd.iscsi.firmware=1 then run my install I ge this during install. ---------------<snip>---------------- dracut-initqueue[663]: iscsistart: version 6.2.0.873-14 dracut-initqueue[663]: iscsistart: initiator reported error (15 - session exists) [ OK ] Started dracut initqueue hook.

Should kernel option "rd.iscsi.firmware" be added to all iSCSI boot servers that have the iSCSI configuration stored on BIOS? This request was resolved in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0.
