Description Perry Myers 2011-12-14 14:35:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
Kernel version is probably one of the more important things to have handy when looking at an oVirt Node image.  Putting the kernel version in the ISO name would make the ISO name pretty long, but we could put the kernel version in the getty login prompt and also perhaps in the grub menu somewhere.  This would make for easier identification for users
Comment 1 Mike Burns 2011-12-14 15:26:15 UTC 
I went to fix this and saw this in the getty prompt (ignoring lack of virt hardware since I'm running in a VM).


oVirt Node Hypervisor release 2.1 (0.fc16)
Kernel 3.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64 on an x86_64 (ttyS0)
Virtualization hardware is unavailable.
(No virtualization hardware was detected on this system)

Please login as 'admin' to configure the node
localhost login: 


It looks like there is already kernel info in the getty prompt.
