  ensure            => present,  # add or remove configuration
  enable_kernel     => true,     # enable kernel config
  enable_bootloader => true,     # enable bootloader config
  reboot            => false,    # reboot if kernel parameters are changed (SOL won't work until reboot)
  tty               => 'tty0',   # text console name
  ttys              => 'ttyS0',  # serial device name without path, defaults to last ttyS* with a UART
