I'd rather do things constistently for all virt types. Makes it easier to explain. Right now --no-gfx is just /weird/. We'll add the two console parameters to kernel_options && kernel_options_post if and only if the user has not already specified any console --kopts, and of course only for VMs. I don't think that will break anyone that way. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
