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.

Comment 6 errata-xmlrpc 2021-10-13 07:11:01 UTC
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.

For information on the advisory (convert2rhel enhancement update), and where to find the updated
files, follow the link below.

If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report.

Comment 7 fmkoreacom 2021-10-13 08:17:22 UTC
Of note the link https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2021:3832 is broken.

On another note, since this is a super common scenario I would hope an automated fix would be made to convert2rhel

Comment 8 Michal Bocek 2021-10-13 10:16:12 UTC
I'm sorry that the advisory link does not work, we're working on fixing it.

The new convert2rhel version 0.24-2 (available already under https://cdn.redhat.com/content/public/convert2rhel/) allows an automated conversion of UEFI-based systems, however this new capability is available only when converting to RHEL 7 and 8, not to RHEL 6.
