Last modified: 2010-11-10 15:40:09 EST
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.
