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.

It still has last console parameter with ttyS0 so firstboot menu shows up on serial only. console=ttyS0* must be removed from this option

> Boot using Serial port  -- boots using ttyS0 as the console

This one is ok.

Follow-on patch

Follow on patch that fixes the issue in the previous comment as well as the following:

Title did not fit in space allowed - added in short product name option
Remove unnecessary Verify and Boot option - check is already included in base Boot and Boot with serial console options
Comment 9 Vivian Bian 2010-08-26 05:02:28 UTC 
checked with rhev-hypervisor-6.0-13

steps:
1. mount -o loop /home/vbian/Desktop/rhev-hypervisor-6.0-13.iso /mnt
2. cat /mnt/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
  menu label Boot
  kernel vmlinuz0
  append initrd=initrd0.img root=live:CDLABEL=rhev-hypervisor rootfstype=auto ro liveimg console=tty0 rhgb rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM  check rootflags=ro crashkernel=128M
menu default
label serial-console
  menu label Boot with serial console
  kernel vmlinuz0
  append initrd=initrd0.img root=live:CDLABEL=rhev-hypervisor rootfstype=auto ro liveimg console=tty0 rhgb rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM  check rootflags=ro crashkernel=128M console=ttyS0,115200n8
label local
  menu label Boot from local drive
  localboot 0xffff


conclusion :
1. Boot -- work with tty0
2. Boot with serial conosle -- work with ttyS0
3. Boot from local drive -- boot into installed RHEVH directly 

there is no ambiguous option in boot menu now , so set bug status to VERIFIED
