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.
Aha, it wasn't probably ever working exactly as written in the "Steps to Reproduce:"
With rhel-guest-image-6-6.5-20140121.0-1, which has
console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0
on the cmdline, the command
[root@bar cloud-user]# echo console > /dev/console
doesn't output the "console" to the ttyS0, but only to the tty0 and the boot messages are with color codes:
Setting hostname bar.beerdrop: [60G[[0;32m OK [0;39m]
However, if there is
console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8
the output then goes to the ttyS0, but not to tty0.
Setting hostname foo.beerdrop: [ OK ]
So, I would rather preferred the messages without the color codes as it makes the messages more readable in the log, though we don't get the eye candiness on the tty0. So if this has no other implications, I would recommend to change the command line to console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8.
Version:
rhel-guest-image-6.6-20140910.0.x86_64.qcow2
Steps:
1. #echo asdfasfasdf >/dev/ttyS0
asdfasfasdf
2. # echo adsfasfasdf >/dev/console
adsfasfasdf
we can see both ttyS0 and console are output to console.
Verified as above.
