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 Richard Freiss 2010-05-13 19:00:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
The GRUB setting for timeout do not allow changes on firstboot.
The installer must must into rescue mode to modify grub if debug changes are needed.

Another issue is the the kernel commands entered during the install are not copied to the kernel command. 

timeout=0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Yes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Preform an basic install on any x86_64 system
2. Attempt kernel command setting
   In my case pcie_aspm=off
3. Attempt to change the command to pcie_aspm=on on firstboot
  
Actual results:

Default timeout=0
pcie_aspm is not on the kernel comman line in /boot/grub/menu.lst

Expected results:

The setting of timeout= 5 or more by default so that the user can stop grub to make changes.

Additional info:

Example of grub setting

# 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.

#          initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2010-05-13 21:36:11 UTC 
Since we have another bug filed later but was cloned from one filed earlier just on this situation, I'm going to dupe this one to that one.
