Description of problem: If you try to pass the parameter acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" to kernel added it to /etc/default/grub the result in the kernel command line is wrong ( "acpi_osi=!Windows\x202012" ). I try to use the escape charaters ( \\ \" \' "' ) but the result is similar.. Please correct it becouse more users need acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" or acpi_osi="!Windows 2006" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub2-efi-2.00-15.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Add acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" to /etc/default/grug, update grub.cfg, reboot and check /proc/cmdline Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
For what it's worth, I experienced this very thing yesterday when I installed Fedora 19 beta. It's a show stopper for Fedora on my systems at this point in time.
Can't you just hack the correct form into grub2.cfg directly? Note fedora does not run grub(2)-install on kernel updates. It instead uses grubby, which basically takes the top entry in the existing grub2.cfg, copies it, and modifies it for the new kernel. So if you make a direct edit to grub2.cfg in Fedora, installing a new kernel will keep that change, it won't be overwritten unless you yourself (or some non-Fedora tool) run grub(2)-install.
Adam, I'm not exactly sure where in the file I would put these edits. Even if I did, that might serve as a hackery workaround, but it's still an issue that should be addressed. As it stands, it's literally the only show stopper keeping me from using Fedora full time. For what it's worth, I did a fresh install today, running 3.9.9 with all of the updates. The issue persists.
I am encountering this problem as well. For example, from /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 vconsole.keymap=us $([ -x /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param ] && /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param || :) rd.luks=0 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet rdblacklist=nouveau acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\"" After running grub2-mkconfig, this is in grub.cfg: linuxefi /vmlinuz-3.11.2-201.fc19.x86_64 root=UUID=c5e62348-9830-4040-b52d-6bad4ff76ad6 ro rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 vconsole.keymap=us rd.luks=0 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet rdblacklist=nouveau acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" So far, so good! However, after booting, this is in /proc/cmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.11.2-201.fc19.x86_64 root=UUID=c5e62348-9830-4040-b52d-6bad4ff76ad6 ro rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 vconsole.keymap=us rd.luks=0 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet rdblacklist=nouveau "acpi_osi=!Windows\x202012" And here we see the problem, same as the original bug reporter Andrea. ********* Unfortunately, modifying /etc/default/grub to be like GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" ... acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\"" doesn't help. After running grub2-mkconfig, grub.cfg looks like linuxefi ... acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\" and /proc/cmdline after reboot looks like BOOT_IMAGE= ... acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\" I suppose *that* is working as intended.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

I can confirm it on recent Fedoras and CentOS 8. We're working on provisioning automation, the generated grub.cfg is set default=0 set timeout=5 set hidden_timeout_quiet=false menuentry "boot_partition" { linuxefi /vmlinuz nofb nomodeset systemd.journald.forward_to_console=yes console=ttyS0 ipa-insecure=1 sshkey="ssh-rsa <a long key>" initrdefi /initrd } In the command line: [ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz nofb nomodeset systemd.journald.forward_to_console=yes console=ttyS0 ipa-insecure=1 "sshkey=ssh-rsa <a long key>"
