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.

By can't login what do you mean ? Black screen ? Other ? Log says everything is fine.

Comment 7 Jérôme Glisse 2014-03-07 15:25:26 UTC
We believe this is already fixed but moving to 7.1

Comment 9 Jérôme Glisse 2014-07-17 15:31:31 UTC
This should already work in 7.0 but reassigning to kernel as if it is an issue than it is a kernel issue.

Comment 12 Tomas Pelka 2015-07-28 12:49:04 UTC
Hiachao would you be able to check with 7.2 kernel, are you still able to reporoduce?

Thanks

I installed RHEL 7.2.0 on an x86-64 machine with AMD CAICOS GPU installed. The installation was successful and RHEL booted successfully after that. I didn't see any freezes.

Comment 17 Lyude 2017-07-13 23:07:42 UTC
This bug is stale, and it looks like it's been fixed so I'm going to close it. If you're still experiencing issues with this on the latest versions of RHEL, please feel free to reopen.
