Description

A very basic test to ensure the installer kernel boots.

How to test

  1. Load the kernel/initrd by any of these methods:
    1. Burn and boot the boot.iso CD image
    2. Fetch the kernel and initrd images listed in .treeinfo and add them to an existing /etc/grub.conf
  2. Allow the bootloader to load and start the kernel

Expected Results

  1. The kernel starts
  2. A whole lot of messages scroll by, including lines like these:
    • Linux version 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i686.PAE (mockbuild@xenbuilder4.fedora.phx.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.4.0 20090506 (Red Hat 4.4.0-4) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Jun 16 23:19:53 EDT 2009
    • checking if image is initramfs... it is
  3. The kernel finds the initrd and starts /init - this will be indicated by two lines like this:
    • Greetings.
    • anaconda installer init version 11.5.0.59 starting
