Description of problem: rhgb quietLANG=en_US.UTF-8SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 run together in kernel parameter line in grub.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 12.20 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. fresh rawhide install from 20090903 2. 3. Actual results: rhgb quietLANG=en_US.UTF-8SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 Expected results: rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 Additional info:
Created attachment 359711 [details] grub.conf with concatenation problem Hmmmm....msg from bz that attachment failed....trying again
To save our heroic bug triagers some time: I'll take this one.
Hmm, I cannot reproduce this, did you do anything special during the installation ? Can you reproduce it yourself? (By doing another install)
I don't believe I did anything special. I try to use the same routine for every install...selinux=0, radeon.modeset=0 (nomodeset hasn't been working) custom layout, mounting some predetermined ext3 and 4 partitions, mounting my home LV parition, formatting / lv as ext4 and boot parition as ext3. I did repeat the install and the same concatenation occurred on both attempts. I will try again this AM.
Two tests, all using the 20090903 boot.iso and method=http://mirrors.tds.net/pub/fedora/development/x86_64/os 1) boot parms (in addition to default): selinux=0 radeon.modeset=0 method=http://<as above> formatted /boot on /dev/sdf8, / on lv, mounted some other LVs and /dev/sdf partitions, took default install result: title Fedora (2.6.31-0.199.rc8.git2.fc12.x86_64) root (hd0,7) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31-0.199.rc8.git2.fc12.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-Fedora12 rhgb quietLANG=en_US.UTF-8SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us initrd /initrd-generic-2.6.31-0.199.rc8.git2.fc12.x86_64.img 2) boot parms (in addition to default): selinux=0 nomodeset method=http://<as above> formatted /boot on /dev/sdf8, / on lv, mounted some other LVs and /dev/sdf partitions, took default install result: title Fedora (2.6.31-0.199.rc8.git2.fc12.x86_64) root (hd0,7) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31-0.199.rc8.git2.fc12.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-Fedora12 nomodeset rhgb quietLANG=en_US.UTF-8SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us initrd /initrd-generic-2.6.31-0.199.rc8.git2.fc12.x86_64.img
and now an attempt on a F11 VM with a plain vanilla standard partition configuration, boot.iso and boot parms same as 2) in comment 5 and the result is the same as test 2).
issue still present with rawhide 20090905 and its boot.iso. Tried both VM and regular installs. Interesting thing is, I don't see any errors at boot time except for the raid grep issue which doesn't seem to affect my raid arrays. # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition.

Ah, my bad I was reproducing this with a too old version. I've got the problem now, and a fix is on its way. Thanks for your perseverance.
This is fixed by this commit: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commitdiff;h=30c28b26233dd70a74ad69c7e7056643bb667b43 Which will be in anaconda-12.22-1, which will hit rawhide in a couple of days.
