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.

Red Hat,

I see this is still in MODIFIED state... is this on track for inclusion into RHEL 8.4.0.z Batch Update 2 ? Is there anything needed from IBM?

Just adding another IBM person as I don't know who is monitoring this bug.
Comment 11 Jan Hlavac 2021-09-12 20:13:39 UTC 
Hi IBM,

I apologize for the delay.

We would like to get the fix into the upcoming Batch update 3.

As Petr mentioned, we would appreciate your help with testing. You can use the archive provided by Petr, which contains only the necessary packages. A full set of noarch and ppc64le packages is also available:

https://people.redhat.com/~jhlavac/packages/grub2-2.02-99.el8_4.1

Maybe Diego Domingos (diegodo.com), who is also the author of the patch, could help.

Best regards,

Jan
