Description

A very basic test to ensure the installer kernel boots.

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
Allow the bootloader to load and start the kernel

The kernel starts
A whole lot of messages scroll by, including lines like these:
- Linux version 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.x86_64 (mockbuild@x86-02.phx2.fedoraproject.org) (gcc version 4.6.1 20110824 (Red Hat 4.6.1-8) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri Sep 16 12:26:22 UTC 2011

- Unpacking initramfs...
The kernel finds the initrd and starts /init - this will be indicated by line like this:
- Starting Anaconda version 16.19.
