Beaker users reported grub.cfg files being overwritten by Beaker
causing job failures. I determined that this occurs only when
the system is configured with
Install Options --> Kickstart Metadata --> grubport=0x03f8
This grubport config causes the grubport snippet to expand in the
kickstart file. When looking at the two possible grub.cfg files,
it looks like RHEL team now using /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg as a
programmable link to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file. To continue to
support configuration of serial port, this changeset will only try
to configure /boot/grub2/grub.cfg for RHEL9. All other distros will
remain the unchanged.

@StykMartin FYI People have been testing with CentOSStream here at RH using Beaker. I don't think that was the case when you were at RH. |

It was, but the problem is that CS8/9/10 doesn't provide the right metadata to create a proper distribution, and manual import was required. Anyway. This patch fixes the problem with RHEL, but we should see the same problem with CS9/CS10, and I wonder why we are only addressing RHEL. |
