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.

Expected results:
SLOF does not display duplicate

Additional info:
Comment 2 David Gibson 2017-04-21 00:43:50 UTC 
This looks to be cosmetic, and in an error path, so dropping priority.
Comment 3 Thomas Huth 2017-04-25 09:43:24 UTC 
I've now tried to reproduce the problem, and I think it is not related to the empty disk, but rather occurs if SLOF was able to load a file (here the "pxelinux.0" via network), but then failed to execute it. The same thing happens if you boot into grub and then return to the firmware prompt from grub by pressing "c" and typing "halt" at the grub command prompt.
Comment 4 Thomas Huth 2017-04-26 08:25:52 UTC 
Patch is now in upstream:
https://github.com/aik/SLOF/commit/06e1e07e5f329dcb2
Comment 5 Miroslav Rezanina 2017-04-28 03:16:35 UTC 
Fix included in SLOF-20170303-2.git66d250e.el7
Comment 7 xianwang 2017-05-08 09:18:22 UTC 
This bug is verified for SLOF-20170303-2.git66d250e.el7
Host:
3.10.0-657.el7.ppc64le
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-2.el7.ppc64le
SLOF-20170303-2.git66d250e.el7.noarch

the steps are same as bug description.
test result:
"SLOF" is not displayed duplicate, though it is not displayed, I think it is acceptable, as following:
