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 of problem:
After anaconda upgrade on s390x and creating new boot loader configuration during the upgrade, some boot options are listed twice in kernel parameters section of zipl.conf (for example rd_NO_LUKS, KEYTABLE=...):
[linux-2.6.32-431.el6.s390x]
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-431.el6.s390x
ramdisk=/boot/initramfs-2.6.32-431.el6.s390x.img
parameters="root=/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.3161-part3 rd_NO_LUKS LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd_NO_LUKS LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd_NO_MD KEYTABLE=us cio_ignore=all,!0.0.0009 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd_DASD=0.0.3161 rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_DM dasd=0.0.3161 KEYTABLE=us rd_NO_MD crashkernel=auto rd_DASD=0.0.3161 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_DM"
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-13.21.215-1.el6
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install RHEL-6.4 on s390x
2. start graphical (vnc) installation of RHEL-6.5
3. select "Upgrade an Existing Installation" when asked
4. select "Create new boot loader configuration"
5. zipl configuration screen is displayed with "Kernel Parameters" field pre-filled like this:
"rd_NO_LUKS LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rn_NO_MD KEYTABLE=us cio_ignore=all,!0.0.0009 SYSFONT=latacryheb-sun16 rd_DASD=0.0.3161 rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_DM dasd=0.0.3161"
6. do not make any modification, click Next
7. finish the upgrade and reboot to installed system
8. check /etc/zipl.conf
Actual results:
Duplicate kernel parameters in zipl.conf
Expected results:
Each parameter is listed only once
Additional info:
* system boots correctly with duplicate boot options
* unable to reproduce on x86_64 (there is no zipl configuration screen)

This is a low priority with no customer case attached; additionally, it does not block installation or the ability to boot post-install, so I'm deferring to 6.7 planning.
Duplicate boot options are not present any more and any additional parameters added during the upgrade are added to the boot parameters on installed system.
Thanks, moving to VERIFIED
