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.

Observed that Firstboot screens appear on "workstation"(snapshot2) variant machine . And screens fails to launch on "Server" variant. 

Marking it as regression

Could you check with snapshot 2+ Server variant as well ? This bug really seems very similar to bug 1576371, which was caused by bug 1573181. 1573181 should be fixed be fixed from snapshot 2 onwards.

Comment 6 Rehana 2018-05-11 06:44:15 UTC
Changing the install option to "Desktop" during deployment solves the issue. Earlier deployment was done with "Basic server" with customize software selection options 'Desktop' and "general purpose desktop" enabled. Apologies for the confusion.

Closing the bug with "Works for me"
