closedcoordination #151816: [epic] Handle openQA fixes and job group setup
Textmode auto-installation fails in spvm due to partitioning error
0%
Description
Scope¶
Recently the PPC grenache worker was restored and ppc tests run again. For create_hdd_gnome though, we see constant failures at the early step of bootloader_start module. The create_hdd_textmode test is successful, following the same steps. Noticable difference so far at lsblk step, the sda disk seems not to be empty and unformatted: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13768555#step/bootloader_start/39
Acceptance criteria¶
- Find the root cause.
- Implement a fix, if possible.

Updated by tinawang123 7 months ago
The parted command failed because at /dev/sda2 has one grub2/powerpc-ieee1275 file.
Checked autoyast profile, it was configured by this profile:
/dev/sda
gpt
true
....
true
boot/grub2/powerpc-ieee1275
I checked the passed job eg: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/11194203
It didn't do parted command before installation.
There are two solutions:
- Use the passed job https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13711367 to generate one new autoyast profile.
- Don't do parted before installation and check the result.
But now the powervm worker has some problem, it stopped at grub page:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13788186#step/bootloader_start/23
Need debug it later.

We need to wipe and recreate partitions in order to have more stable installation (if we drop the check we might find sporadic failures in the future).
The failure is with this command: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13768555#step/bootloader_start/35
You can compare with this old passing job: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/11163215#step/bootloader_start/35
Let's resolve this ticket. thanks for the investigation.
