How do I change redhat kernel command line parameters for a specific kernel version?

List your kernel files. The example shows two kernels with their associated rescue files.

# ls /boot/vmlinuz*
/boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-a1f64654d787441991547c9458034686
/boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-c74bc11fb3d6436bb2716196dd0e7a47
/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-147.5.1.el8_1.x86_64
/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-80.4.2.el8_0.x86_64

The kernel version you are currently running can be seen using uname

$ uname -a
Linux ip-172-31-26-43.eu-west-2.compute.internal 4.18.0-80.4.2.el8_0.x86_64...
...
...
...

The changes are going to be made to the /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-80.4.2.el8_0.x86_64 kernel to change the console boot output to be minimum; by using the kernel parameter "quiet"

Note: It is important to understand you are overriding the default kernel parameter setting, by individually editing a single kernel boot entry.

       --update-kernel=kernel-path
              Update the entries for kernels matching  kernel-path.  Currently
              the  only  item that can be updated is the kernel argument list,
              which is modified via the --args and --remove-args options.

       --args=kernel-args
              When a new kernel is added,  this  specifies  the  command  line
              arguments  which should be passed to the kernel by default (note
              they are merged with the arguments from the template if  --copy-
              default  is used).  When --update-kernel is used, this specifies
              new arguments to add to the argument list. Multiple, space sepa‐
              rated  arguments  may be used. If an argument already exists the
              new value replaces the old values.  The  root=  kernel  argument
              gets special handling if the configuration file has special han‐
              dling for specifying the root filesystem (like lilo.conf does).

This will change the boot entry configuration file for this version of the kernel only.

$ sudo grubby --update-kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) --args="quiet"
