Description of problem: Kernelcmd not being honored during provisioning using Kickstart default PXELinux template I am trying to set net.ifnames=0 and biosdevname=0 to kickstart a rhel-7 host using the “Kickstart default PXELinux” template. I want to use the eth naming convention for the interfaces. Here is the command I use to create the host. ``` hammer host create \ --name tests001 \ --architecture x86_64 \ --build true \ --content-view rhel-7-server \ --domain local.net \ --enabled true \ --lifecycle-environment rhel-7-server_08-08-2022 \ --location MyLocation \ --managed true \ --medium rhel-server-7.7-x86_64-dvd-20190728 \ --operatingsystem rhel-server-7.7-x86_64 \ --organization MyOrganization \ --overwrite true \ --partition-table "rhel-7-server-dynamic-xfs" \ --product rhel-7-server-rpms \ --provision-method build \ --pxe-loader "PXELinux BIOS" \ --interface "mac=08:00:27:cc:2a:40, \ ip=192.168.0.145, \ type=interface, \ managed=true, \ primary=true, \ provision=true, \ subnet=192.168.0.0, \ virtual=false" \ --interface "mac=08:00:27:f0:6d:8a, \ ip=192.168.1.145, \ type=interface, \ managed=true, \ primary=false, \ provision=false, \ subnet=192.168.1.0, \ virtual=false" \ --parameters "selinux-mode=permissive, \ bootloader-append=selinux=1 audit=1 transparent_hugepage=never, \ time-zone=Etc/GMT, \ disable-firewall=false, \ redhat_install_agent=false, \ redhat_install_host_tools=false, \ redhat_install_host_tracer_tools=false, \ activation_key=rhel-7-server-latest, \ atomic=false, \ subscription_manager=true, \ subscription_manager_auto_attach=false, \ subscription_manager_certpkg_url=http://formn001/pub/katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm, \ subscription_manager_org=MyOrganization, \ package_upgrade=true, \ loader_timeout=2, \ kernelcmd=net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0" ``` After I run the command, I navigate to “Hosts > Provisioning Templates > Kickstart default PXELinux” and select Preview. I can see the APPEND line correctly shows “net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0”. `APPEND initrd=boot/rhel-server-7-7-x86_64-dvd-20190728-qWmnKQBMBQsJ-initrd.img net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 network ksdevice=bootif ks.device=bootif BOOTIF=01-08-00-27-cc-2a-40 ks=http://formn001.local.net/unattended/provision?token=3d07f52d-740d-4e3a-b9bd-07068bdbfa8d kssendmac ks.sendmac ip=192.168.0.145::192.168.0.1:255.255.255.0:tests001.local.net::none nameserver=192.168.0.12 nameserver=192.168.1.12` After that I start the new VM using Oracle VM VirtualBox and boot to the network. The correct PXE menu is displayed, and I hit TAB to see the pxe command line. I see everything as written in the APPEND line above except for net.ifnames=0 and biosdevname=0. If I continue to provision the host everything is setup correctly except net.ifnames=0 and biosdevname=0 are not honored and I do not get the eth naming convention. I can manually enter net.ifnames=0 and biosdevname=0 on the pxe command line and it works correctly, but that is not feasible to provision hundreds of hosts. If I clone the template and manually add net.ifnames=0 and biosdevname=0, I can see it on the pxe command line, the options are honored, and I get the eth naming convention. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): satellite 6.12.0 How reproducible: Always Actual results: net.ifnames=0 and biosdevname=0 not showing on the pxeboot command line Expected results: Expecting net.ifnames=0 and biosdevname=0 to show on the pxeboot command line Additional info: Upstream link : https://community.theforeman.org/t/kernelcmd-not-being-honored-during-provisioning-using-kickstart-default-pxelinux-template/30094
