#4813 task#5 - Create Installable Images for QA testing #1
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by jlaska.

Greetings!

Hard to believe that Fedora 16 is upon us already. This ticket is intended to track creation of custom pxeboot and boot.iso images for use with QA execution of the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Rawhide_Acceptance_Test_Plan rawhide acceptance test plan].

For this milestone, only i386 and x86_64 boot.iso's are needed. An entire installable tree is not required for this pre-Alpha acceptance milestone.


Hi folks,

Have the custom pxeboot and boot.iso images been created? Because we'll need them to execute the rawhide acceptance test plan, so please help me to create one, thanks a lot!

we are hitting some bugs in yum that are preventing image creation. they are being worked on.

Thanks for the update Dennis ... I'm seeing some yum oddness as well, not sure if it's related to what you are seeing - http://fpaste.org/mt7H/

ok so we hit https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=721170 worked around that. the 32 bit images were failing with a missing initramfs.img file. as a test i excluded kernel-PAE* and it built ok. so these images dont have a pae kernel

So how soon will the complete images be available? Thanks!

I'd suggest we record the bugs identified in creating these images, and call that RATS#1.

The second Rawhide Acceptance Test run is [http://rbergero.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-16/f-16-quality-tasks.html scheduled] to start on July 14 (yesterday). I will file a new ticket to track that request.

Thanks,

The Fedora-16-Nightly-20110716.16-i686-Live-desktop.iso [1] has been out, and with the test, I believe it has fixed the bug 721170.
