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 George Beshers 2011-03-31 19:21:04 UTC
Description of problem:
  After installation the efi shell was the default
  boot option.  Not harmful but a manual change was
  needed to the boot manager for the system to reboot
  automatically.

  Further testing required.
  A kbase may be the easiest solution.

George,

DO you have suggested text for a release note or kbase?

Comment 3 gbeshers 2011-04-01 01:50:02 UTC
Hi Ron,

I will provide text or, if the snap solves the problem,
close the BZ.

George

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-04 02:49:45 UTC
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

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 5 George Beshers 2011-04-12 21:03:40 UTC

This will be a kbase note.  The contents
of the note will describe how to setup
the boot manager so that the RHEL kernel
is automatically booted to avoid manual
intervention going through the EFI shell.

I believe that the instructions will be
mildly UV specific, but the setup is not
onerous.

George

George -- Can you pls ensure that this text is provided before your break? Thanks!

Comment 10 Marizol Martinez 2011-06-03 18:55:57 UTC
Removed all flags as this BZ is only being use to track the creation of the kbase article.

Is this done?  If so, can we close the bug?

Comment 13 Dave Cantrell 2012-07-06 17:41:47 UTC
This bug is so dated, I'm closing it out.  If the kbase article is still outstanding, just reopen the bug.
