Description Karel Volný 2010-10-13 03:41:15 EDT

Description of problem:
I've tried to install RHEL-5.5 using qemu.
I haven't configured any sound devices in qemu, however, after setting up the user account there comes another screen for sound card setup. It tells me that a sound device was found and then it tells me that no soundcard was found - a bit schizophrenic ...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL5.5-Server-20100322.0-x86_64-DVD

How reproducible:
(haven't tried)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to install RHEL5 like
qemu-kvm -m 1024 -cdrom RHEL5.5-Server-20100322.0-x86_64-DVD.iso RHEL5
2. use the defaults, go through the installation until you get to the Sound card screen

Actual results:
it says something like (rough translation, I've run the installer using Czech language):

A sound device was found at your computer.

Click "Play the testing sound" ....

No soundcard was found.


Expected results:
If no soundcard is found, this configuration screen shouldn't appear at all. If it needs to appear, then at least it should say that something was found right before it says that nothing was found ...

I already have a patch for this.

Comment 2 RHEL Product and Program Management 2011-01-11 15:24:01 EST

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 RHEL Product and Program Management 2011-01-11 17:34:41 EST

This request was erroneously denied for the current release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.  The error has been fixed and this
request has been re-proposed for the current release.

Comment 5 RHEL Product and Program Management 2011-08-05 08:29:46 EDT

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 6 Martin Gracik 2011-08-22 04:33:27 EDT

Fixed in firstboot-1.4.27.9-1

Comment 8 Alexander Todorov 2011-12-02 07:51:07 EST

With firstboot-1.4.27.9-1 I removed the sound device from my KVM guest and firstboot didn't ask me to configure any sound devices. Moving to VERIFIED.
