Probably. A grubby command could add the proper kernel parameter to the bootloader configuration, but grubby isn't being used anywhere in Fedora (not anaconda for initial installs, not when installing kernel upgrades) so it isn't being exercised. The more users customize, the less likely grubby is going to detect their use case and fail gracefully. grubby would need to have a strict "only add new parameter" option. Right now it also replaces the kernel command line with the contents of /etc/kernel/cmdline to all bootloader snippets in /boot/loader/entries - including snippets for other OS's, which would be bad. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
