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)
- At the initial screen, select the Troubleshooting menu and then the option labelled Rescue a Fedora system
- When prompted, direct 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 start and proceed to disk scan prompt
- Scanning your disk for existing installations should 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 - Anaconda should be able to mount (read-write and read-only) LVM, encrypted, and RAID (BIOS, hardware, and software) installations
- Additionally, you may be able to execute
chroot /mnt/sysimage /bin/bashwithout error
