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.

Fixed In Version: anaconda-34.25.2.4-1.el9
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.Installer now lists all `PPC PreP Boot` or `BIOS Boot` partitions during custom partitioning Previously, when adding multiple `PPC PreP Boot` or `BIOS Boot` partitions during custom partitioning, the Custom Partitioning screen displayed only one partition of a related type. As a consequence, the Custom Partitioning screen did not reflect the real state of the intended partitioning layout, making the partitioning process difficult and non-transparent. With this update, the Custom Partitioning screen correctly displays all `PPC PreP Boot` or `BIOS Boot` partitions in the partitions list. As a result, users can now better understand and manage the intended partitioning layout.

Description tbsky 2022-06-06 05:22:06 UTC 
Description of problem:

this is an old problem. but the workaround for RHEL 7/8 is not working under RHEL 9.0.

if creating biosboot multiple times for each disk under RHEL 9.0, it will create multiple biosboot partition at first disk and one biosboot partition at last disk and none for other disks. maybe there is new workaround but I must create the partitions manually now.

the old bug report and workaround is still working fine under RHEL 8.6

Comment 1 Jan Stodola 2022-06-06 08:39:38 UTC 
Unfortunately, I can confirm that the workaround from bug 1956573#c1 is not very well usable on RHEL-9. Tested on a system with 4 disks, anaconda doesn't always show the latest created biosboot mountpoint, but one of the previously created biosboot mountpoints remains displayed instead.
