Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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.

Doc Text:	.The Image Builder rebased to version 19.7.33 and fully supported The Image Builder, provided by the `lorax-composer` package in the RHEL 7 Extras Channel, has been upgraded to version 19.7.33. Notable changes in this version include: * The Image Builder, previously available as Technology Preview, is now fully supported. * Cloud images can be built for Amazon Web Services, VMware vSphere, and OpenStack. * A Red Hat Content Delivery Network (CDN) repository mirror is no longer needed. * You can now set a host name and create users. * Boot loader parameters can be set, such as disabling Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) with the `nosmt=force` option. This is only possible from `composer-cli` tool on command line. * The web console UI can now edit external repositories ("sources"). * The Image Builder can now run with SElinux in enforcing mode. To access the Image Builder functionality, use a command-line interface in the `composer-cli` utility, or a graphical user interface in the RHEL 7 web console from the `cockpit-composer` package. // * Images can be created on all architectures supported by RHEL. // * Boot loader parameters can be set, but only using manual blueprint editing and import with the `composer-cli` tool on command line.

Thanks very much! I have two minor comments:

> * Boot loader parameters can be set, such as disabling Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) with the `nosmt=force` option.

Please mention that this is only possible from composer-cli.


> // * Images can be created on all architectures supported by RHEL.
> // * Boot loader parameters can be set, but only using manual blueprint editing and import with the `composer-cli` tool on command line.

Please leave these out (looks like they are already commented out?)
