Description

This test validates that the syslinux [1] (or isolinux) boot menu option Boot performs properly. For more information, consult the 'The Boot Menu' section of the Installation Guide.

Setup

  1. Prepare your system for booting the Live ISO image under test (typically created for Desktop Spins). This may involve writing the image to a USB key, or using cdrecord or dvdrecord to create an optical disk.
  2. Check your system boot order configuration to ensure that the optical drive (or USB drive) boot target is enabled. This may involve inspecting the BIOS settings for your system.

How to test

  1. Insert the optical (or USB) Live media into the appropriate device (optical drive or USB drive), and boot the system under test.
  2. At the boot prompt, interrupt the automatic boot sequence by pressing any key. Then select the menu option Boot

Expected Results

  1. A graphical boot menu is displayed and the graphics look reasonably good. While hi-res images aren't supported in the boot menu, the graphics should not look extremely pixelated.
  2. Upon selecting Boot, the Live image boots successfully.
