Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

Comment 2 Amos Kong 2013-12-09 07:12:58 UTC

We need a seabios support:

commit 54ae5436df92c8caf0a814a7c653adb1d75a084c
Author: Kevin O'Connor <kevin>
Date:   Sat Jan 12 16:36:11 2013 -0500

    boot: Support "halt" in the boot order to prevent default boot attempts.
    
    Current seabios will attempt to boot from both configured devices and
    a list of default devices.  Sometimes it is desirable to only attempt
    to boot from the configured devices and not from any of the default
    devices.  This patch adds support for a "HALT" item in the "bootorder"
    file - its presence will prevent SeaBIOS from attempting any default
    boot actions.
