Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Fedora_42_Beta_Release_Criteria#self-hosting-virtualization release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion. If so, please file a bug and nominate it as blocking the appropriate milestone, using the blocker bug nomination page.

Description

This test case ensures the development release boots as a KVM guest run in the same release.

Prepare a machine with the current development release (Fedora 42) installed
Install virt-manager (or other tool to control KVM virtual machines)
If you want to test your guest system using UEFI, you need to set it up first.

Create a virtual machine and boot the current development release in it (use boot.iso, PXE or DVD.iso of Fedora 42). This can be accomplished using the virt-install command or by using the graphical utility virt-manager
Hit run to boot the guest from the provided ISO disc
Proceed with normal installation

The installer successfully boots from the ISO image
The installer is able to activate and use the virtual network device(s)
The installer is able to activate and use the virtual storage device(s)
The install completes successfully
The system reboots successfully, recognizing filesystems created on the virt device(s)
