action #15178
closedPermanent boot order with bootindex
0%
Description
-boot has option "once", e.g. boot once from cdrom next boot local disk, what was used also in grub_test
With use of -boot and bootindex grub/boot tests will need refactoring to solve missing option "once"
Now is bootindex used only on UEFI tests
Further details¶
Initially the issue about "boot order" and "bootindex" was raised in https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/issues/640 and the behaviour change was introduced by https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/641

blocking UEFI tests, e.g. https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/latest?version=Tumbleweed&test=uefi&flavor=DVD&distri=opensuse&machine=USBboot_64&arch=x86_64 and https://openqa.suse.de/tests/latest?test=USBinstall&version=12-SP3&flavor=Server-DVD&machine=uefi&distri=sle&arch=x86_64
Also I assume #15230 is related.
Maybe we should use the boot menu and just instruct it with keys: http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-doc.html WDYT?

I guess the simplest solution would be to just look for the bootmenu of the DVD and select the boot from hard disk option when on UEFI but I am expecting there is a better solution, I just don't know it.

I'm for the bootmenu action too boot from disk, don't know what could be another solution.

previous PR broke non-usbinstall uefi steps because apparently these cases do not set any bootindex at all: https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/2202 provided and merged

USBInstall scenario (uefi x86_64) still fails, now in reboot_gnome because again it hits the installation medium: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/664855#step/reboot_gnome/9
In the end, why is "Installation" preselected in the installation menue? Shouldn't boot from hard disk be default?

bootindex=0 is on cdrom so, CDROM will boot always.

The difference is in the bootindex
-device usb-storage,bus=ehci.0,drive=usbstick,id=devusb,bootindex=0
(new) vs.
-device usb-storage,bus=ehci.0,drive=usbstick,id=devusb -boot once=d,menu=on,splash-time=5000

It looks like some uefi installations fail even though all other settings seem to be the same. The error appears sometimes regardless of the worker used. Some example jobs:
- failed: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/321662
- failed: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/321912
- passed: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/321775
- passed: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/321631
The only difference I could spot before the inst-bootmenu appears is an error message showing up in only one frame after the tianocore splash screen, see attached

#15178#note-13 should be unrelated according to coolo so I consider this ticket done with https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/2202 merged
