Created attachment 1497029 [details] Screenshot showing the bug described here. Description of problem: In Admin portal go to Compute > Hosts > Edit > Kernel tab It says: Modifying kernel boot parameters settings can lead to a host boot failure. Please consult the documentation before doing any changes. Kernel boot parameters changes require host deploy and restart. The host needs to be REINSTALLED suceesfully and then to be REBOOTED for kernel boot parameters to be applied! Do you mean update the host, redeploy it or reinstall it? Don't use "redeploy" in one sentence and "reinstall" in another to mean to the same thing. When I see "REINSTALL" here, it sounds like I need to reinstall the entire host OS on my bare metal machine. Does this mean update the host OS? Does this mean something else? As far as grammar and spelling, this is better, and I changed "REINSTALL" to "REDPLOYMENT": Modifying kernel boot parameter settings can lead to a host boot failure. Please consult the documentation before changing any host boot parameters. After changing kernel boot parameters, you must redeploy and restart the host. Kernel boot parameters are applied only after a successful REDEPLOYMENT and REBOOT!
Under the host actions in RHVM, you'll see "Reinstall" as an option. In this context, "Reinstall" is not confusing. Probably we should change the instance of "changes require host deploy" to "changes require the host to be reinstalled" to keep it consistent.
Re-targeting to 4.3.1 since it is missing a patch, an acked blocker flag, or both
I think this is low-hanging fruit and I'd like to try to fix it myself. I'm marking it as low instead of medium, since it was low enough priority to close it with WILLNOTFIX.
Ryan, I created a new patch in Gerrit for this. I added you as a reviewer. Who else should be reviewer?

Lukas, Please take a look at the change.
Verified in ovirt-engine-4.4.1.8-0.7.el8ev.noarch The text in the host -> Kernel dialog tab now says: """ Modifying kernel boot parameter settings can lead to a host boot failure. Please consult the documentation before changing any host boot parameters. """ """ After changing kernel boot parameters, you must reinstall and reboot the host. Kernel boot parameters take effect only after successfully REINSTALLING and REBOOTING the host! """
