Details

An updated booty package that fixes a bug is now available.

The booty package contains a Python library that provides an interface
for the creation of boot loader configuration files, and the addition of
stanzas to such configuration files. These boot loader configuration files
are used by the Anaconda installer.

The "pci=", "clock=", and "config=" command line arguments were not
correctly copied to "grub.conf", and as such, they did not persist. This
may have caused problems on certain hardware, such as certain AMD hardware
that requires the "pci=nommconf" option. In this updated package, these
options are correctly copied to "grub.conf".

Users of booty are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
