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 .
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
- Start the anaconda installer
- 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)
- Proceed with your installation using a minimal package set
- Boot into your new system and copy all applicable installation disc iso's to your /iso directory.
- Reboot your system into the installation program using any available means
- Direct anaconda to use hard drive as the installation type by adding the boot command line:
askmethod - When prompted, select Hard drive as your installation source
- Select the disk partition that houses your disc iso images. Note, this was the disk partition created in step#2 above
- Proceed with installation
Expected Results
- Anaconda uses the install source from the hard disk provided.
- Anaconda completes successfully
- Package errors (install.log) should not occur
- System boots successfully
