Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Lukas Zapletal 2022-01-17 11:43:31 UTC
RHEL 9 Beta currently cannot be installed with default templates due to deprecation of ks= argument. It must be prefixed with inst.ks= and Anaconda in RHEL9 Beta will fail, thus provisioning is not possible.

I propose to backport it into 6.10 so customers can try out RHEL 9 Beta without any extra effort.

Instead of backporting both patches which aim to change all places (iPXE, PXEGrub etc) I propose just to do a small change of changing ks to inst.ks for supported workflows (PXELinux, Grub2). I can do a small MR on request.

Small effort, low risk.

Comment 1 Lukas Zapletal 2022-01-17 11:49:51 UTC
Also this package must be removed from the kickstart: redhat-lsb-core.
