QA:Testcase install repository Hard drive default

Description

This test is designed to test installing using iso images on a local disk partition.

Note
This test requires a local disk partition sized large enough to house at least 4 650MB iso images. For further details please refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4: Installation Guide, sections Preparing for a Hard Drive Installation and Installing from a Hard Drive .

How to test

1. Start the anaconda installer
2. Create a 5G physical disk partition (not LVM) with mount point /iso (NOTE the disk and partition anaconda uses, e.g. /dev/sdb1 as this will come into play in later steps)
3. Proceed with your installation using a minimal package set
4. Boot into your new system and copy all applicable installation disc iso's to your /iso directory.
5. Reboot your system into the installation program using any available method:
   • PXE boot into the installer
   • boot.iso
   • *disc1.iso
   • Copy $TREE/images/pxeboot/* into your /boot and update /etc/grub.conf to boot the installer
6. Add the boot command line: askmethod
7. When prompted, select Hard drive as your installation source
8. Select the disk partition that houses your disc iso images. Note, this was the disk partition created in step#2 above
9. Select auto-partition at the disk partitioning screen
10. Proceed with installation

Expected Results

1. Anaconda uses the package repository from the hard disk provided.
2. Anaconda completes successfully
3. System boots successfully
