Description of problem: I am attempting to kickstart a RHTS box. I want to keep the kernel options used during it's initial setup. The box was kickstarted with these options: --append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" I attempted to set them in the /rhn/kickstart/KickstartDetailsEdit.do page. When I submit the form, the first "console=tty0" option/value is dropped. This is verified when looking at the kickstart file itself. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new kickstart profile 2. Edit both kernel and post kernel options 3. Set string to: "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" 4. Submit form Actual results: kernel params come back as: "console=ttyS0,115200" Expected results: "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" Also need to verify: Actual kickstart file at rhn/kickstart/KickstartFileDownload.do?ksid= is rendered with correct options Additional info:
Cobbler cannot currently do this. As such - we will not be able to provide this capability for 530 GA. Moving off proposed for 530. Cliff.
I remember this was fixed in upstream within Bug 672652
