Severity
--------
<Minor: System/Feature is usable with minor issue>
Steps to Reproduce
------------------
Need add the info "If using the lowlat kernel, the customer should be doing a serial console install, not a graphics console install." in our internal document.
Graphic console will impact rt performance.
