Appendix A. Boot options reference
You can use the boot options to modify the default behavior of the installation program.
A.1. Installation source boot options
This section describes various installation source boot options.
- inst.repo=
- The - inst.repo=boot option specifies the installation source, that is, the location providing the package repositories and a valid- .treeinfofile that describes them. For example:- inst.repo=cdrom. The target of the- inst.repo=option must be one of the following installation media:- 
										an installable tree, which is a directory structure containing the installation program images, packages, and repository data as well as a valid .treeinfofile
- a DVD (a physical disk present in the system DVD drive)
- an ISO image of the full Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation DVD, placed on a disk or a network location accessible to the system. - Use the - inst.repo=boot option to configure different installation methods using different formats. The following table contains details of the- inst.repo=boot option syntax:- Expand - Table A.1. Types and format for the inst.repo= boot option and installation source - Source type - Boot option format - Source format - CD/DVD drive - inst.repo=cdrom:<device>- Installation DVD as a physical disk. [a] - Mountable device (HDD and USB stick) - inst.repo=hd:<device>:/<path>- Image file of the installation DVD. - NFS Server - inst.repo=nfs:[options:]<server>:/<path>- Image file of the installation DVD, or an installation tree, which is a complete copy of the directories and files on the installation DVD. [b] - HTTP Server - inst.repo=http://<host>/<path>- Installation tree that is a complete copy of the directories and files on the installation DVD. - HTTPS Server - inst.repo=https://<host>/<path>- FTP Server - inst.repo=ftp://<username>:<password>@<host>/<path>- HMC - inst.repo=hmc[a] If device is left out, installation program automatically searches for a drive containing the installation DVD.[b] The NFS Server option uses NFS protocol version 3 by default. To use a different version, add- nfsvers=Xto options, replacing X with the version number that you want to use.
 
- 
										an installable tree, which is a directory structure containing the installation program images, packages, and repository data as well as a valid 
Set disk device names with the following formats:
- 
							Kernel device name, for example /dev/sda1orsdb2
- 
							File system label, for example LABEL=FlashorLABEL=RHEL8
- 
							File system UUID, for example UUID=8176c7bf-04ff-403a-a832-9557f94e61db
					Non-alphanumeric characters must be represented as \xNN, where NN is the hexadecimal representation of the character. For example, \x20 is a white space (" ").
				
- inst.addrepo=
- Use the - inst.addrepo=boot option to add an additional repository that you can use as another installation source along with the main repository (- inst.repo=). You can use the- inst.addrepo=boot option multiple times during one boot. The following table contains details of the- inst.addrepo=boot option syntax.Note- The - REPO_NAMEis the name of the repository and is required in the installation process. These repositories are only used during the installation process; they are not installed on the installed system.
For more information about unified ISO, see Unified ISO.
| Installation source | Boot option format | Additional information | 
|---|---|---|
| Installable tree at a URL | 
									 | Looks for the installable tree at a given URL. | 
| Installable tree at an NFS path | 
									 | 
									Looks for the installable tree at a given NFS path. A colon is required after the host. The installation program passes everything after  | 
| Installable tree in the installation environment | 
									 | 
									Looks for the installable tree at the given location in the installation environment. To use this option, the repository must be mounted before the installation program attempts to load the available software groups. The benefit of this option is that you can have multiple repositories on one bootable ISO, and you can install both the main repository and additional repositories from the ISO. The path to the additional repositories is  | 
| Disk | 
									 | Mounts the given <device> partition and installs from the ISO that is specified by the <path>. If the <path> is not specified, the installation program looks for a valid installation ISO on the <device>. This installation method requires an ISO with a valid installable tree. | 
- inst.stage2=
- The - inst.stage2=boot option specifies the location of the installation program’s runtime image. This option expects the path to a directory that contains a valid- .treeinfofile and reads the runtime image location from the- .treeinfofile. If the- .treeinfofile is not available, the installation program attempts to load the image from- images/install.img.- When you do not specify the - inst.stage2option, the installation program attempts to use the location specified with the- inst.repooption.- Use this option when you want to manually specify the installation source in the installation program at a later time. For example, when you want to select the Content Delivery Network (CDN) as an installation source. The installation DVD and Boot ISO already contain a suitable - inst.stage2option to boot the installation program from the respective ISO.- If you want to specify an installation source, use the - inst.repo=option instead.Note- By default, the - inst.stage2=boot option is used on the installation media and is set to a specific label; for example,- inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=RHEL-x-0-0-BaseOS-x86_64. If you modify the default label of the file system that contains the runtime image, or if you use a customized procedure to boot the installation system, verify that the- inst.stage2=boot option is set to the correct value.
- inst.noverifyssl
- Use the - inst.noverifysslboot option to prevent the installer from verifying SSL certificates for all HTTPS connections with the exception of additional Kickstart repositories, where- --noverifysslcan be set per repository.- For example, if your remote installation source is using self-signed SSL certificates, the - inst.noverifysslboot option enables the installer to complete the installation without verifying the SSL certificates.- Example when specifying the source using - inst.stage2=- inst.stage2=https://hostname/path_to_install_image/ inst.noverifyssl - inst.stage2=https://hostname/path_to_install_image/ inst.noverifyssl- Copy to Clipboard Copied! - Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow - Example when specifying the source using - inst.repo=- inst.repo=https://hostname/path_to_install_repository/ inst.noverifyssl - inst.repo=https://hostname/path_to_install_repository/ inst.noverifyssl- Copy to Clipboard Copied! - Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow 
- inst.stage2.all
- Use the - inst.stage2.allboot option to specify several HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP sources. You can use the- inst.stage2=boot option multiple times with the- inst.stage2.alloption to fetch the image from the sources sequentially until one succeeds. For example:- inst.stage2.all inst.stage2=http://hostname1/path_to_install_tree/ inst.stage2=http://hostname2/path_to_install_tree/ inst.stage2=http://hostname3/path_to_install_tree/ - inst.stage2.all inst.stage2=http://hostname1/path_to_install_tree/ inst.stage2=http://hostname2/path_to_install_tree/ inst.stage2=http://hostname3/path_to_install_tree/- Copy to Clipboard Copied! - Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow 
- inst.dd=
- 
								The inst.dd=boot option is used to perform a driver update during the installation. For more information about how to update drivers during installation, see the Updating drivers during installation.
- inst.repo=hmc
- This option eliminates the requirement of an external network setup and expands the installation options. When booting from a Binary DVD, the installation program prompts you to enter additional kernel parameters. To set the DVD as an installation source, append the - inst.repo=hmcoption to the kernel parameters. The installation program then enables support element (SE) and hardware management console (HMC) file access, fetches the images for stage2 from the DVD, and provides access to the packages on the DVD for software selection.Important- To use the - inst.repoboot option, ensure the user is configured with a minimum of Privilege Class B. For more information about the user configuration, see IBM documentation.
- proxy=
- This boot option is used when performing an installation from a HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocol. For example: - [PROTOCOL://][USERNAME[:PASSWORD]@]HOST[:PORT] - [PROTOCOL://][USERNAME[:PASSWORD]@]HOST[:PORT]- Copy to Clipboard Copied! - Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow 
- inst.nosave=
- Use the - inst.nosave=boot option to control the installation logs and related files that are not saved to the installed system, for example- input_ks,- output_ks,- all_ks,- logsand- all. You can combine multiple values separated by a comma. For example,- inst.nosave=Input_ks,logs - inst.nosave=Input_ks,logs- Copy to Clipboard Copied! - Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Note- The - inst.nosaveboot option is used for excluding files from the installed system that cannot be removed by a Kickstart %post script, such as logs and input/output Kickstart results.
- input_ks
- Disables the ability to save the input Kickstart results.
- output_ks
- Disables the ability to save the output Kickstart results generated by the installation program.
- all_ks
- Disables the ability to save the input and output Kickstart results.
- logs
- Disables the ability to save all installation logs.
- all
- Disables the ability to save all Kickstart results, and all logs.
- inst.multilib
- 
								Use the inst.multilibboot option to set DNF’smultilib_policyto all, instead of best.
- inst.memcheck
- 
								The inst.memcheckboot option performs a check to verify that the system has enough RAM to complete the installation. If there is not enough RAM, the installation process is stopped. The system check is approximate and memory usage during installation depends on the package selection, user interface, for example graphical or text, and other parameters.
- inst.nomemcheck
- 
								The inst.nomemcheckboot option does not perform a check to verify if the system has enough RAM to complete the installation. Any attempt to perform the installation with less than the minimum amount of memory is unsupported, and might result in the installation process failing.
A.2. Network boot options
If your scenario requires booting from an image over the network instead of booting from a local image, you can use the following options to customize network booting.
						Initialize the network with the dracut tool. For complete list of dracut options, see the dracut.cmdline(7) man page on your system.
					
- ip=
- Use the - ip=boot option to configure one or more network interfaces. To configure multiple interfaces, use one of the following methods;- 
										use the ipoption multiple times, once for each interface; to do so, use therd.neednet=1option, and specify a primary boot interface using thebootdevoption.
- 
										use the ipoption once, and then use Kickstart to set up further interfaces. This option accepts several different formats. The following tables contain information about the most common options.
 
- 
										use the 
In the following tables:
- 
							The ipparameter specifies the client IP address andIPv6requires square brackets, for example 192.0.2.1 or [2001:db8::99].
- 
							The gatewayparameter is the default gateway.IPv6requires square brackets.
- 
							The netmaskparameter is the netmask to be used. This can be either a full netmask (for example, 255.255.255.0) or a prefix (for example, 64).
- The - hostnameparameter is the host name of the client system. This parameter is optional.- Expand - Table A.3. Boot option formats to configure the network interface - Boot option format - Configuration method - ip=method- Automatic configuration of any interface - ip=interface:method- Automatic configuration of a specific interface - ip=ip::gateway:netmask:hostname:interface:none- Static configuration, for example, IPv4: - ip=192.0.2.1::192.0.2.254:255.255.255.0:server.example.com:enp1s0:none- IPv6: - ip=[2001:db8::1]::[2001:db8::fffe]:64:server.example.com:enp1s0:none- ip=ip::gateway:netmask:hostname:interface:method:mtu- Automatic configuration of a specific interface with an override - Configuration methods for the automatic interface- The method - automatic configuration of a specific interface with an overrideopens the interface using the specified method of automatic configuration, such as- dhcp, but overrides the automatically obtained IP address, gateway, netmask, host name or other specified parameters. All parameters are optional, so specify only the parameters that you want to override.- The - methodparameter can be any of the following:- DHCP
- 
										dhcp
- IPv6 DHCP
- 
										dhcp6
- IPv6 automatic configuration
- 
										auto6
- iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT)
- 
										ibft
 Note- 
										If you use a boot option that requires network access, such as inst.ks=http://host/path, without specifying theipoption, the default value of theipoption isip=dhcp..
- 
										To connect to an iSCSI target automatically, activate a network device for accessing the target by using the ip=ibftboot option.
 - nameserver=
- The - nameserver=option specifies the address of the name server. You can use this option multiple times.Note- The - ip=parameter requires square brackets. However, an IPv6 address does not work with square brackets. An example of the correct syntax to use for an IPv6 address is- nameserver=2001:db8::1.
- bootdev=
- 
										The bootdev=option specifies the boot interface. This option is mandatory if you use more than oneipoption.
- ifname=
- The - ifname=options assigns an interface name to a network device with a given MAC address. You can use this option multiple times. The syntax is- ifname=interface:MAC. For example:- ifname=eth0:01:23:45:67:89:ab - ifname=eth0:01:23:45:67:89:ab- Copy to Clipboard Copied! - Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Note- The - ifname=option is the only supported way to set custom network interface names during installation.
- inst.dhcpclass=
- 
										The inst.dhcpclass=option specifies the DHCP vendor class identifier. Thedhcpdservice recognizes this value asvendor-class-identifier. The default value isanaconda-$(uname -srm). To ensure theinst.dhcpclass=option is applied correctly, request network activation during the early stage of installation by also adding theipoption.
- inst.waitfornet=
- 
										Using the inst.waitfornet=SECONDSboot option causes the installation system to wait for network connectivity before installation. The value given in theSECONDSargument specifies the maximum amount of time to wait for network connectivity before timing out and continuing the installation process even if network connectivity is not present.
- vlan=
- Use the - vlan=option to configure a Virtual LAN (VLAN) device on a specified interface with a given name. The syntax is- vlan=name:interface. For example:- vlan=vlan5:enp0s1 - vlan=vlan5:enp0s1- Copy to Clipboard Copied! - Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow - This configures a VLAN device named - vlan5on the- enp0s1interface. The name can take the following forms:
 
- 
							VLAN_PLUS_VID: vlan0005
- 
							VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD: vlan5
- 
							DEV_PLUS_VID: enp0s1.0005
- DEV_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD: - enp0s1.5- bond=
- Use the - bond=option to configure a bonding device with the following syntax:- bond=name[:interfaces][:options]. Replace name with the bonding device name, interfaces with a comma-separated list of physical (Ethernet) interfaces, and options with a comma-separated list of bonding options. For example:- bond=bond0:enp0s1,enp0s2:mode=active-backup,tx_queues=32,downdelay=5000 - bond=bond0:enp0s1,enp0s2:mode=active-backup,tx_queues=32,downdelay=5000- Copy to Clipboard Copied! - Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow - For a list of available options, execute the - modinfobonding command.
- team=
- Use the - team=option to configure a team device with the following syntax:- team=name:interfaces. Replace name with the desired name of the team device and interfaces with a comma-separated list of physical (Ethernet) devices to be used as underlying interfaces in the team device. For example:- team=team0:enp0s1,enp0s2 - team=team0:enp0s1,enp0s2- Copy to Clipboard Copied! - Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow 
- bridge=
- Use the - bridge=option to configure a bridge device with the following syntax:- bridge=name:interfaces. Replace name with the desired name of the bridge device and interfaces with a comma-separated list of physical (Ethernet) devices to be used as underlying interfaces in the bridge device. For example:- bridge=bridge0:enp0s1,enp0s2 - bridge=bridge0:enp0s1,enp0s2- Copy to Clipboard Copied! - Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow 
 
A.3. Console boot options
This section describes how to configure boot options for your console, monitor display, and keyboard.
- console=
- 
								Use the console=option to specify a device that you want to use as the primary console. For example, to use a console on the first serial port, useconsole=ttyS0. When using theconsole=argument, the installation starts with a text UI. If you must use theconsole=option multiple times, the boot message is displayed on all specified console. However, the installation program uses only the last specified console. For example, if you specifyconsole=ttyS0 console=ttyS1, the installation program usesttyS1.
- inst.lang=
- 
								Use the inst.lang=option to set the language that you want to use during the installation. To view the list of locales, enter the commandlocale -a | grep _or thelocalectl list-locales | grep _command.
- inst.singlelang
- 
								Use the inst.singlelangoption to install in single language mode, which results in no available interactive options for the installation language and language support configuration. If a language is specified using theinst.langboot option or thelangKickstart command, then it is used. If no language is specified, the installation program defaults toen_US.UTF-8.
- inst.geoloc=
- Use the - inst.geoloc=option to configure geolocation usage in the installation program. Geolocation is used to preset the language and time zone, and uses the following syntax:- inst.geoloc=value. The- valuecan be any of the following parameters:- 
										Disable geolocation: inst.geoloc=0
- 
										Use the Fedora GeoIP API: inst.geoloc=provider_fedora_geoip.
- Use the Hostip.info GeoIP API: - inst.geoloc=provider_hostip.- If you do not specify the - inst.geoloc=option, the default option is- provider_fedora_geoip.
 
- 
										Disable geolocation: 
- inst.keymap=
- 
								Use the inst.keymap=option to specify the keyboard layout to use for the installation.
- inst.cmdline
- 
								Use the inst.cmdlineoption to force the installation program to run in command-line mode. This mode does not allow any interaction, and you must specify all options in a Kickstart file or on the command line.
- inst.graphical
- 
								Use the inst.graphicaloption to force the installation program to run in graphical mode. The graphical mode is the default.
- inst.text
- 
								Use the inst.textoption to force the installation program to run in text mode instead of graphical mode.
- inst.noninteractive
- 
								Use the inst.noninteractiveboot option to run the installation program in a non-interactive mode. User interaction is not permitted in the non-interactive mode, andinst.noninteractiveyou can use theinst.nointeractiveoption with a graphical or text installation. When you use theinst.noninteractiveoption in text mode, it behaves the same as theinst.cmdlineoption.
- inst.resolution=
- 
								Use the inst.resolution=option to specify the screen resolution in graphical mode. The format isNxM, where N is the screen width and M is the screen height (in pixels). The recommended resolution is 1024x768.
- inst.vnc
- 
								Use the inst.vncoption to run the graphical installation using Virtual Network Computing (VNC). You must use a VNC client application to interact with the installation program. When VNC sharing is enabled, multiple clients can connect. A system installed using VNC starts in text mode.
- inst.vncpassword=
- 
								Use the inst.vncpassword=option to set a password on the VNC server that is used by the installation program.
- inst.vncconnect=
- 
								Use the inst.vncconnect=option to connect to a listening VNC client at the given host location, for example,inst.vncconnect=<host>[:<port>]The default port is 5900. You can use this option by entering the commandvncviewer -listen.
- inst.xdriver=
- 
								Use the inst.xdriver=option to specify the name of the X driver to use both during installation and on the installed system.
- inst.usefbx
- 
								Use the inst.usefbxoption to prompt the installation program to use the frame buffer X driver instead of a hardware-specific driver. This option is equivalent to theinst.xdriver=fbdevoption.
- modprobe.blacklist=
- Use the - modprobe.blacklist=option to blocklist or completely disable one or more drivers. Drivers (mods) that you disable using this option cannot load when the installation starts. After the installation finishes, the installed system retains these settings. You can find a list of the blocklisted drivers in the- /etc/modprobe.d/directory. Use a comma-separated list to disable multiple drivers. For example:- modprobe.blacklist=ahci,firewire_ohci - modprobe.blacklist=ahci,firewire_ohci- Copy to Clipboard Copied! - Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Note- You can use - modprobe.blacklistin combination with the different command line options. For example, use it with the- inst.ddoption to ensure that an updated version of an existing driver is loaded from a driver update disc:- modprobe.blacklist=virtio_blk - modprobe.blacklist=virtio_blk- Copy to Clipboard Copied! - Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow 
- inst.xtimeout=
- 
								Use the inst.xtimeout=option to specify the timeout in seconds for starting X server.
- inst.sshd
- Use the - inst.sshdoption to start the- sshdservice during installation, so that you can connect to the system during the installation using SSH, and monitor the installation progress. For more information about SSH, see the- ssh(1)man page on your system. By default, the- sshdoption is automatically started only on the 64-bit IBM Z architecture. On other architectures,- sshdis not started unless you use the- inst.sshdoption.Note- During installation, the root account has no password by default. You can set a root password during installation with the - sshpwKickstart command.
- inst.kdump_addon=
- 
								Use the inst.kdump_addon=option to enable or disable the Kdump configuration screen (add-on) in the installation program. This screen is enabled by default; useinst.kdump_addon=offto disable it. Disabling the add-on disables the Kdump screens in both the graphical and text-based interface as well as the%addon com_redhat_kdumpKickstart command.
A.4. Debug boot options
This section describes the options you can use when debugging issues.
- inst.rescue
- 
								Use the inst.rescueoption to run the rescue environment for diagnosing and fixing systems. For more information, see the Red Hat Knowledgebase solution repair a filesystem in rescue mode.
- inst.updates=
- Use the - inst.updates=option to specify the location of the- updates.imgfile that you want to apply during installation. The- updates.imgfile can be derived from one of several sources.- Expand - Table A.4. updates.img file sources - Source - Description - Example - Updates from a network - Specify the network location of - updates.img. This does not require any modification to the installation tree. To use this method, edit the kernel command line to include- inst.updates.- inst.updates=http://website.com/path/to/updates.img.- Updates from a disk image - Save an - updates.imgon a floppy drive or a USB key. This can be done only with an- ext2filesystem type of- updates.img. To save the contents of the image on your floppy drive, insert the floppy disc and run the command.- dd if=updates.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=72k count=20. To use a USB key or flash media, replace- /dev/fd0with the device name of your USB flash drive.- Updates from an installation tree - If you are using a CD, disk, HTTP, or FTP install, save the - updates.imgin the installation tree so that all installations can detect the- .imgfile. The file name must be- updates.img.- For NFS installs, save the file in the - images/directory, or in the- RHupdates/directory.
- inst.loglevel=
- Use the - inst.loglevel=option to specify the minimum level of messages logged on a terminal. This option applies only to terminal logging; log files always contain messages of all levels. Possible values for this option from the lowest to highest level are:- 
										debug
- 
										info
- 
										warning
- 
										error
- 
										critical
 
- 
										
					The default value is info, which means that by default, the logging terminal displays messages ranging from info to critical.
				
- inst.syslog=
- 
								Sends log messages to the syslogprocess on the specified host when the installation starts. You can useinst.syslog=only if the remotesyslogprocess is configured to accept incoming connections.
- inst.virtiolog=
- 
								Use the inst.virtiolog=option to specify which virtio port (a character device at/dev/virtio-ports/name) to use for forwarding logs. The default value isorg.fedoraproject.anaconda.log.0.
- inst.zram=
- Controls the usage of zRAM swap during installation. The option creates a compressed block device inside the system RAM and uses it for swap space instead of using the disk. This setup allows the installation program to run with less available memory and improve installation speed. You can configure the - inst.zram=option using the following values:- inst.zram=1 to enable zRAM swap, regardless of system memory size. By default, swap on zRAM is enabled on systems with 2 GiB or less RAM.
- inst.zram=0 to disable zRAM swap, regardless of system memory size. By default, swap on zRAM is disabled on systems with more than 2 GiB of memory.
 
- rd.live.ram
- 
								Copies the stage 2image inimages/install.imginto RAM. Note that this increases the memory required for installation by the size of the image which is usually between 400 and 800MB.
- inst.nokill
- Prevent the installation program from rebooting when a fatal error occurs, or at the end of the installation process. Use it capture installation logs which would be lost upon reboot.
- inst.noshell
- Prevent a shell on terminal session 2 (tty2) during installation.
- inst.notmux
- Prevent the use of tmux during installation. The output is generated without terminal control characters and is meant for non-interactive uses.
- inst.remotelog=
- 
								Sends all the logs to a remote host:portusing a TCP connection. The connection is retired if there is no listener and the installation proceeds as normal.
A.5. Storage boot options
This section describes the options you can specify to customize booting from a storage device.
- inst.nodmraid
- 
								Disables dmraidsupport.
						Use this option with caution. If you have a disk that is incorrectly identified as part of a firmware RAID array, it might have some stale RAID metadata on it that must be removed using the appropriate tool such as, dmraid or wipefs.
					
- inst.nompath
- Disables support for multipath devices. Use this option only if your system has a false-positive that incorrectly identifies a normal block device as a multipath device.
Use this option with caution. Do not use this option with multipath hardware. Using this option to install to a single path of a multipath device is not supported.
- inst.gpt
- 
								Forces the installation program to install partition information to a GUID Partition Table (GPT) instead of a Master Boot Record (MBR). This option is not valid on UEFI-based systems, unless they are in BIOS compatibility mode. Normally, BIOS-based systems and UEFI-based systems in BIOS compatibility mode attempt to use the MBR schema for storing partitioning information, unless the disk is 2^32 sectors in size or larger. Disk sectors are typically 512 bytes in size, meaning that this is usually equivalent to 2 TiB. The inst.gptboot option allows a GPT to be written to smaller disks.
- inst.wait_for_disks=
- 
								Use the inst.wait_for_disks=option to specify the number of seconds installation program to wait for disk devices to appear at the beginning of the installation. Use this option when you use theOEMDRV-labeleddevice to automatically load the Kickstart file or the kernel drivers but the device takes longer time to appear during the boot process. By default, installation program waits for5seconds. Use0seconds to minimize the delay.
A.6. Deprecated boot options
This section contains information about deprecated boot options. These options are still accepted by the installation program but they are deprecated and are scheduled to be removed in a future release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
- method
- 
								The methodoption is an alias forinst.repo.
- dns
- 
								Use nameserverinstead ofdns. Note that nameserver does not accept comma-separated lists; use multiple nameserver options instead.
- netmask, gateway, hostname
- 
								The netmask,gateway, andhostnameoptions are provided as part of theipoption.
- ip=bootif
- 
								A PXE-supplied BOOTIFoption is used automatically, so there is no requirement to useip=bootif.
- ksdevice
- Expand - Table A.5. Values for the ksdevice boot option - Value - Information - Not present - N/A - ksdevice=link- Ignored as this option is the same as the default behavior - ksdevice=bootif- Ignored as this option is the default if - BOOTIF=is present- ksdevice=ibft- Replaced with - ip=ibft. See- ipfor details- ksdevice=<MAC>- Replaced with - BOOTIF=${MAC/:/-}- ksdevice=<DEV>- Replaced with - bootdev
A.7. Removed boot options
This section contains the boot options that have been removed from Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
						dracut provides advanced boot options. For more information about dracut, see the dracut.cmdline(7) man page on your system.
					
- askmethod, asknetwork
- 
								initramfsis completely non-interactive, so theaskmethodandasknetworkoptions have been removed. Useinst.repoor specify the appropriate network options.
- blacklist, nofirewire
- 
								The modprobeoption now handles blocklisting kernel modules. Usemodprobe.blacklist=<mod1>,<mod2>. You can blocklist the firewire module by usingmodprobe.blacklist=firewire_ohci.
- inst.headless=
- 
								The headless=option specified that the system that is being installed to does not have any display hardware, and that the installation program is not required to look for any display hardware.
- inst.decorated
- 
								The inst.decoratedoption was used to specify the graphical installation in a decorated window. By default, the window is not decorated, so it does not have a title bar, resize controls, and so on. This option was no longer required.
- repo=nfsiso
- 
								Use the inst.repo=nfs:option.
- serial
- 
								Use the console=ttyS0option.
- updates
-
