Description
This test confirms that you are able to install a system when booting the installer using only a kernel and initial ramdisk image.
Pxeboot Images Required
This test case requires having pxeboot images made available for a system. For further information on PXE, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preboot_Execution_Environment
This test case requires having pxeboot images made available for a system. For further information on PXE, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preboot_Execution_Environment
How to test
- Boot test system off the network using the kernel (
images/pxeboot/vmlinuz) and initial ramdisk image (images/pxeboot/initrd.img) - When prompted, entry a language and keymap preference
- Choose an installation method (HTTP, NFS, hard drive etc...) and provide the requested information so anaconda can locate the installation repository. If selecting a network-based installation method, you may also be prompted to choose a network device and enter network parameters.
Expected Results
- Graphical boot menu is displayed for users to select install options. If no option is selected, the installer should load after a reasonable timeout
- Installer boots into loader and prompts for language, keymap, and installation source
- Installer transitions to anaconda without error
- The installer utilizes the package repository at the provided installation source
