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.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-10 21:42:54 UTC 
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.
Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2010-05-21 19:58:46 UTC 
Can you please test again with a later version of RHEL6?  The string "can not be run" is not in anaconda anymore, and we believe this issue to be solved.
Comment 4 Maarten Broekman 2010-05-21 20:21:51 UTC 
Where would I be able to get a later version of RHEL6?  I'm using the ISO that is available from: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/beta/6/x86_64/iso/

I don't see any later version than the April 14 ISO.
Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2010-05-21 21:00:04 UTC 
Your support representative should be able to help you out with that information, as I don't really know what's available and when.  If you don't have a support representative, you'll probably have to wait for an RC or similar to come out.
Comment 7 Everett Bennett 2010-05-24 14:31:11 UTC 
This is beta.......why do I need a support rep to access.. how about updating the beta site.  Thanks in advance.  You ask us to test the beta, but then we have to jump through hoops to obtain?
Comment 10 Maarten Broekman 2010-07-02 16:14:26 UTC 
Beta2 appears to fix this.
Comment 12 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-10 19:43:17 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
