Description
This test boots any available installation method (CDROM, DVD, or network) and requests a "rescue" install. For details on booting into rescue mode please refer to the Install Guide .
How to test
- Boot the installer using any available means (CDROM, DVD, http, ftp, or nfs) with the rescue command-line parameter
- If doing a network installation, specify the remote installation source for grabbing stage2 anaconda (e.g. nfs, http, or ftp)
- Instruct anaconda to scan your disks for existing installations
- Select "OK" to chroot into
/mnt/sysimagefor your existing installation
Expected Results
- Anaconda should prompt for language, keymap, and installation media (e.g. nfs, http, ftp, local cdrom, hard drive)
- Anaconda should find stage2 images and proceed to disk scan prompt
- Scanning your disk for existing installations must will not result in a failure
- Selecting OK will present you with a shell where you are able to see the previous installation mounted under
/mnt/sysimage. - Additionally, you may be able to execute
chroot /mnt/sysimage /bin/bashwithout error
