Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

Description William Brown 2013-12-13 02:50:05 UTC

Description of problem:
Unselecting kdump in firstboot, you are prompted that you will need to restart. You are allowed to register. Then firstboot is complete and a restart takes place. Firstboot then runs again. If you don't change kdump settings, firstboot completes and you go to the login screen. 

How reproducible:
Always

Actual results:
Firstboot runs a second time.

Expected results:
Firstboot runs once.

Comment 2 Dave Cantrell 2013-12-17 20:11:01 UTC

The kdump firstboot plugin wants firstboot to run again.  Firstboot stops loading when there are no plugins that want to run.

Comment 3 Martin Milata 2013-12-19 14:00:34 UTC

The module seems to be a part of kexec-tools.

Comment 4 Vivek Goyal 2013-12-19 15:50:38 UTC

This looks like an issue. Dave Young, can you please have a look at it.

Looks similar to bz903579, is asking questions to vpodzime in that bz.
