Description
A very basic test to ensure the installer kernel boots.
How to test
- Load the kernel/initrd by any of these methods:
- Burn and boot the
boot.isoCD image - Fetch the
kernelandinitrdimages listed in.treeinfoand add them to an existing/etc/grub.conf
- Burn and boot the
- Allow the bootloader to load and start the kernel
Expected Results
- The kernel starts
- 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 2009checking if image is initramfs... it is
- 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
