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
======================

There are apparent typos in grub2 configuration examples in system/yaboot
and system/uefi contents:

    UB_TIMEOUT=5
    GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
    GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
    GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
    ...

Both texts contain the same typo: name of `GRUB_TIMEOUT` variable being
truncated by 2 chars.



Version-Release number of selected component
============================================

preupgrade-assistant-contents-0.6.32-4.el6.noarch


How reproducible
================

Always


Steps to Reproduce
==================

 1. Get a ppc64 or an UEFI machine

 2. Run preupg

 3. Find respective content texts


Actual results
==============

`UB_TIMEOUT`, can be seen in both examples


Expected results
================

Examples use valid grub2 variables such as `GRUB_TIMEOUT`

Created attachment 1061285 [details]
proposed patch

We agreed to change scope a bit:

 *  GRUB_TIMEOUT typo has been fixed in yaboot content--as was meant
    originally, but fix of the UEFI content has been postponed (so that
    we don't need docs now--only yaboot part is affected, which is not
    related to an officially supported arch),

 *  the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line has been changed to something more
    useful,

 *  although comment has been added to notify user that they will need
    to rewrite the line anyway.

Verified on ppc64 (only relevant arch, albeit not officially supported.)
