Observation¶

LTP SecureBoot tests fail to boot on some x86_64 workers.

Steps to reproduce¶

• Run LTP SecureBoot tests

Impact¶

LTP SecureBoot tests fail to boot on some x86_64 workers.

Problem¶

LTP SecureBoot tests fail to boot on some x86_64 workers.

Suggestion¶

• Review UEFI configuration on x86_64 workers

Workaround¶

Run SecureBoot tests on one of the few unaffected workers

I doubt this is related to the infrastructure. The worker slots on the same machine running just openQA worker instances in qemu are just different processes of the very same software. I compared autoinst-log.txt from the first fwo URLs you shared and I found:

• https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10651590/logfile?filename=autoinst-log.txt : qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-vga,edid=on,xres=1024,yres=768
• https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10658203/logfile?filename=autoinst-log.txt : qemu-system-x86_64 -device VGA,edid=on,xres=1024,yres=768

That surely makes a difference. I suggest you take a look into where the QEMUVGA=virtio setting in the first job comes from and why it's not supplied in the second case.

QEMUVGA=virtio comes from the Incidents-Kernel-Azure medium because SLE-15SP4 kernel-azure does not support any other video device. https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10658203 is the only job on the list that tests kernel-default instead of kernel-azure.

The other successful job (https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10659359) tests kernel-azure so you can compare the failures with that one. It's a direct clone of the 3 failed jobs.

so generally using QEMUVIDEO=virtio fails boot on openqaworker16 and openqaworker17 , but work as excepted on worker9 thx to different rendering of grub menu

on worker9:

il | qemu-ovmf-x86_64       | balíček | 202008-150300.10.14.1

locked package with ovmf from Leap 15.3 ( 2 years old )

on openqaworker16/17:

i+ | qemu-ovmf-x86_64       | balíček | 202202-150400.5.5.1 | noarch       | Update repository with updates from SUSE Linux Enterprise 15

latest ovmf from Leap 15.4 ...

Apparently in #113366 it was missed to apply the downgrade of the package
