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.

Description Norman 2010-04-23 01:37:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
when debugging issues in single-user mode, STDOUT does not appear on console.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.0 Beta 1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot, changing 'rhgb quiet' to 'single' at the grub menu
2. at shell, type 'ifconfig -a' or 'ip link show' -> no output, but shell prompt returned
3.
  
Actual results:
output not displayed

Expected results:
STDOUT to be displayed on console without any need for redirection

Additional info:
'ifconfig -a | more' or 'ifconfig -a 1> /dev/console' does show output on console, but 'ifconfig -a > /tmp/file' does not populate /tmp/file.

my grub.conf is the one installed by the installer:
# 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.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_morris-lv_root
#          initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sdc

Policy will need modified to label /sbin/sushell appropriately. (Using the same
context as /sbin/sulogin works in a quick test, but may have unintended
consequences.)

Will be in 9.03.11-1.
