Description Gene Czarcinski 2013-12-02 21:27:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
OK, I only have *recent) experience with grub2 and extlinux.  In all the grub2 configuration examples and on running systems I have seen, they all have the "ro" kernel parameter specified.  However, if the extlinux bootloader is specified, the "ro" parameter is not on the append statement.

I don't believe this should be a blocker but more experienced folks may differ.

The test I ran was to install on regular ext4 partitions only.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 20

How reproducible:
yes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do an X86 install specifying the extlinux bootloader
2. take a look at the resulting /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:
