Manage kernel arguments in bootc systems

You can customize the boot process of your Red Hat Enterprise Linux bootc systems by managing kernel arguments. By configuring these parameters, you can tune performance and ensure hardware compatibility by applying settings during the image build or installation phase.

You can use bootc to configure kernel arguments. By default, bootc uses the boot loader configuration files stored in /boot/loader/entries. This directory defines arguments provided to the Linux kernel. The set of kernel arguments is machine-specific state, but you can also manage the kernel arguments by using container updates. The boot loader menu entries are shared between multiple operating systems, and boot loaders are installed on one device.

Note

Currently, the boot loader entries are written by an OSTree back end.
