Description

Observation

openQA test in scenario opensuse-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-upgrade_Leap_15.0_cryptlvm@uefi fails in
bootloader_uefi

There are quite recent changes around UEFI handling (mostly for grub resolution)

The referenced test now fails with both provided UEFI PFLASH_VARS:

  • ovmf-x86_64-ms-vars-800x600.qcow2 => system does not boot at all
  • /usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64-ms-vars.bin => system boots, installs, but later fails on user GUI login

Test suite description

Upgrade scenario with cryptlvm for Leap 15.0.

Reproducible

Fails since (at least) Build 20220915

Expected result

Last good: 20220914 (or more recent)

Further details

Always latest result in this scenario: latest

Just to confirm the relation to ovmf:
I scheduled this test: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/2774162 on openqaworker19 with a downgraded package and it passed (well, softfailed somewhere else).

When I change the UEFI_PFLASH_VARS variable from ovmf-x86_64-ms-vars-800x600.qcow2 to /usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64-ms-vars.bin then it works. See before and after and compare the UEFI_PFLASH_VARS variables.

Yeah, but https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/2774190#step/user_gui_login/13 fails in user_gui_login, that's also mentioned in the ticket description.
I don't know how that is related to the ovmf package, but if I downgrade, everything passes.

I don't know who changed the UEFI_PFLASH_VARS setting for uefi, it's not mentioned in https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/113794

I downgraded qemu-ovmf-x86_64 on all workers again.

I set back UEFI_PFLASH_VARS to /usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64-ms-vars.bin

We are waiting for feedback on https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204067

@dimstar @pdostal Could you run the previously failing tests on openqaworker19?

I upgraded there to ovmf-202202-150400.5.5.1.src which has several patches that might fix the issues.

The original linked tests are delete by now, so I'm not sure how to test.

We had to downgrade the package again on all workers. I can't find the ticket right now where @okurz wrote that.

  • Subject changed from [qe-core] recent uefi changes makes test fail to [tools] recent uefi changes makes test fail

As I understand, tools did some change to workers. So moving to tools: is the workaround still in place since 1 year? Please let us know what qe-core should do to solve the issue entirely.
Is the problem solved? Please resolve the ticket :)

No, we removed the workaround after
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204067
was verified fixed so it's assumed that the original problem is fixed but there might be certainly other issues that you can look into
