From Fedora Project Wiki

This page is intended to record installation validation testing test results for the Fedora 21 PPC milestone.

This is a first draft that keep all tests of original template to ease comparison of this specific ppc64/ppc64le (secondary architecture) results versus those of primary arch.

TODO: I still need to mark unsupported testcases with background grey lines.

Instructions

This page tracks test results against the Fedora 21 PPC build. Test results against other Fedora 21 milestones can be found at Category:Fedora_21_Test_Results. The explanation of test case priority is available in the release validation test plan.

What To Test

Who's available

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, general discussion ...

Menantea, Michelmno, mjwolf, Kick_, pknirsch

Add or Remove a Test Case

  1. Please request review for your changes by publishing your test case for review to test list.
  2. Once reviewed, make your changes to this document
  3. Finally, update QA:Fedora_21_Install_Results_Template with the same changes.

Workarounds

Available workarounds for known problems in composes

  • manually install crash

Key

See the table below for a sample format for test results. All test results are posted using the format specified Template:Result.

Test Results Format
Test Result Explanation Code Entered
none
Untested - This test has not been run, and is available for anyone to contribute feedback. {{result|none}}
Pass pass robatino
Passed - The test has been run and the tester determine the test met the expected results {{result|pass|robatino}}
Inprogress inprogress adamwill
Inprogress - An inprogress result is often used for tests that take a long time to execute. Inprogress results should be temporary and change to pass, fail or warn. {{result|inprogress|adamwill}}
Fail fail jlaska [1] [2]
Failed - Indicates a failed test. A link to a bug must be provided. See Template:Result for details on providing bug information.
  1. RHBZ #XYZ
  2. RHBZ #ZXY
{{result|fail|jlaska|XYZ|ZXY}}
Warning warn rhe
[1]
Warning - This test completed and met the expected results of the test, but other issues were encountered during testing that warrant attention.
  1. Brief description about the warning status
{{result|warn|rhe}} <ref>Brief description about the warning status</ref>
Pass pass hongqing
Warning warn kparal
Multiple results - More people can easily provide results to a single test case. {{result|pass|hongqing}} {{result|warn|kparal}}
Pass pass previous <build> run
Result from previous test run - This test result is directly moved from the test run of previous <build>. {{result|pass|previous <build> run}}
Unsupported - An unsupported test or configuration. No testing is required.

Default boot and install

Note.png
Bare metal testing required
Running these tests in a virtualized environment is valuable, but the test must pass on bare metal using a physical install medium for each release-blocking image in each test environment at least for the final release candidate image (i.e. the released image) for each milestone.

In all of these tests, the test case used is QA:Testcase_Boot_default_install. That is where the links point. The same test needs to be run for multiple images and target platforms. Note that the non-installer-based ARM disk images are covered by the later #ARM disk images section.

  1. not tested as no graphical card
  2. options text/inst.text seems to be ignored, text mode needs to be selected manually
  3. Installation is successful, however the text install mode (choice 2) has to be manually selected at the beginning despite the inst.text boot option.
  4. Using password protected VNC makes installation hang in the end, manual restart is needed, but installation is OK. Known issue, fix on the way(https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/anaconda-patches/2014-September/013080.html).
  5. Hang at the end with password protected VNC is still present with TC4.
  6. default urls fail https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-workstation-21&arch=ppc64 , https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-server-21&arch=ppc64 , https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-cloud-21&arch=ppc64 with No repomd file. pbrobinson on irc: when we declare it alpha, it gets moved to another directory and synced automatically to the mirrors.
