Description
A test to check that anaconda can properly set up the bootloader.
How to test
- Proceed to the partitioning screen (see QA:Anaconda storage probe test case)
- Choose "Use entire drive"
- Ensure that the "Review and modify partition layout" box is checked
- Proceed through the partition layout review
- Wait while anaconda creates filesystems
- Check that the bootloader option screen has the correct device names, then hit Next
- Complete package installation (see QA:Anaconda package install test case)
- When prompted, reboot system and enter the bootloader menu
- Confirm the presence of an entry for Fedora and attempt to boot it
Expected Results
- System reboots, bootloader starts
- On x86 systems, you can hold Shift as the system starts to examine the bootloader menu
- On ppc systems, the
yaboot
prompt should appear automatically
- Bootloader can be told to boot Fedora
- Bootloader reads kernel and initrd into memory
- Bootloader starts kernel properly and the kernel finds its initrd
- TODO add some details on verifying this - a system can fail to boot because of factors outside the scope of this test
