Description Kamil Páral 2011-08-29 12:50:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
I used this option in my kickstart:
bootloader --append="console=ttyS0" --timeout=0

In the installed system there is a 20 second bootloader timeout. /root/anaconda-ks.cfg contains:
bootloader --location=mbr --append="rhgb quiet console=ttyS0"

The --timeout option was ignored and disappeared.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-16.14.6

How reproducible:
two times out of two attempts

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use bootloader --timeout=0
2.
3.
