I'll update this bug report once the patch is reviewed. As a workaround you can add a console= argument to the cmdline such as: console=ttyS0,115200n8 Thanks & Regards, Hans
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion.
Note to QA, to reproduce, do an installation with "serial" on the kernel cmdline, without a console= argument.
This is fixed in anaconda-13.21.40-1, moving to modified.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you.
