Information in this document applies to any platform.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Instance is not allowing access to Maintenance Mode boot setup when using Serial Console.

This was validated using UEK 6.9 and 7.4 in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute. Both UEK versions are not able to properly boot into Maintenance Mode.

The process "To boot into maintenance mode" from the below documentation link does not properly complete. (A documentation bug has been submitted)

The Boot Process hangs here and never continues into the Linux maintenance mode.
