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:

When booting RHEL 8.0 VM with virt-install, I see

  console=ttyS0 console=ttyS0,115200n8

in the grub entry.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rhel-8.0-update-1-x86_64-kvm.qcow2

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get rhel-8.0-update-1-x86_64-kvm.qcow2 from https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/479/ver=/rhel---8/8.0/x86_64/product-software.
2. Run the VM virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name rhel-8 --import --disk rhel-8.0-update-1-x86_64-kvm.qcow2 --network network=example.test --os-variant rhel8.0
3. Press 'e' on the prompt to display the first RHEL entry in grub.

Actual results:

  load_video
  set gfx_payload=keep
  insmod gzio
  linux ($root)/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-80.4.2.el8_0.x86_64 root=UUID=9c3d4ce1-341c-\
  401d-8f8f-8e9c13c00f40 ro console=ttyS0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 no_timer_check \
  net.ifnames=0 crashkernel=auto
  initrd  ($root)/boot/initramfs-4.18.0-80.4.2.el8_0.x86_64.img $tuned_initrd

Expected results:

The double console entry is confusing and probably shouldn't be there.

Hi Jon,
Is it possible you let someone from the RCM team review that change?

Thanks
