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 of problem:
When booting a KVM domU with one of the latest nightly builds in single user mode I get the error message:

   Welcome to Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 

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

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install KVM domU with Workstation variant, default package set
2. After reboot append "1" to grub command line to boot into single user mode
3. cat /var/log/boot.log | head 
  
Actual results:
/pre-trigger/30parse-biosdevname.sh: 10: [[: not found

Despite the error message everything else regarding biosdevname should work.

Comment 5 Alexander Todorov 2011-02-17 14:22:49 UTC

With dracut-004-39.el6.noarch I got:

NMI watchdog disabled for cpu0: unable to create perf event: -2
[: 10: !=: unexpected operator
    Welcome to Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 

Not sure if this is related or it's completely different error.

Comment 6 Alexander Todorov 2011-02-17 14:35:31 UTC

I have biosdevname installed on the system. When booting with:

biosdevname=1 - no error is printed
biosdevname=0 - [: 10: !=: unexpected operator

Don't specify biosdevname parameter, same error.

dracut-004-39.el6.noarch:

During the system boot following message appears in the console:
 1: !=: unexpected operator

Seems like USE_BIOSDEVNAME in parse-biosdevname.sh is not properly initialized.

Below is a fragment of dmesg:

dracut: + [ -e /pre-trigger/30parse-biosdevname.sh ]
dracut: + . /pre-trigger/30parse-biosdevname.sh
dracut: + getarg biosdevname
dracut: + set +x
dracut: + return 1
dracut: biosdevname=1: activating biosdevname network renaming
dracut: + USE_BIOSDEVNAME=
dracut: + [ != 1 ]
dracut: [: 1: !=: unexpected operator
dracut: + info biosdevname=1: activating biosdevname network renaming
dracut: + check_quiet
dracut: + [ -z yes ]
dracut: + echo <6>dracut: biosdevname=1: activating biosdevname network

Comment 14 Alexander Todorov 2011-03-09 13:07:28 UTC

I no longer see this error with dracut-004-43.el6.noarch.
