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 14 Jan Stodola 2023-06-23 08:23:04 UTC 
Tested with anaconda-34.25.3.4-1.el9 and no problem was found:

* If geolocation succeeds, language and timezone is set automatically.
* If geolocation succeeds and language is changed on the first screen, timezone is kept unchanged - it means the timezone provided by geolocation is used.
* If geolocation fails or is disabled by inst.geoloc=0, English/New York timezone is pre-selected by default. Changing language also changes the timezone. This is what has changed comparing to RHEL-9.2.

Also tested other scenarios, like setting language/timezone via kickstart, setting language on the kernel cmdline or in text mode. No regression in behavior was found comparing to RHEL-9.2.

What took a slightly longer was a use case when networking could not be brought up automatically (no DHCP on the network), but this delay is present even with anaconda-34.25.3.3-1.el9, so it's not related to this change.

Marking as Verified:Tested.

Checked that anaconda-34.25.3.4-1.el9 is in nightly compose RHEL-9.3.0-20230626.34
