Description
This test case verifies that partial kickstart files are processed correctly without any failure in the specified Fedora release.
Setup
- Install any Fedora to be tested on a bare metal system or a virtual machine.
- Ensure that you have a partial kickstart file prepared for the test. The partial kickstart file should include a few basic configurations like user creation, package installation, and disk partitioning. You can use this [[1]]
How to test
- Boot the system and interrupt the boot process to access the boot menu.
- At the boot menu, append the ks parameter to the kernel line, pointing to the location of your partial kickstart file. For example: ks=http://path/to/your/partial.ks
- Continue with the boot process to start the Fedora installation.
- Monitor the installation process to ensure that the configurations specified in the partial kickstart file are being applied.
- Once the installation is complete, reboot the system.
Expected Results
- The system should boot into the installer and the installation process should initiate without any error.
- The configurations specified in the partial kickstart file should be applied correctly during the installation.
- The installation should complete successfully without any errors or warnings.
- The system should reboot and reach the login prompt, reflecting the configurations applied from the partial kickstart file.
Optional
- Experiment with different partial kickstart files with varying configurations to check the robustness of the kickstart process.
- Check the logs in /var/log/anaconda/ for any errors or warnings related to kickstart processing.
