Current SLEM test runs that rely on the JeOS-firstboot wizard do not work for ppc64le after https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1229336. The reason is that the graphical console by default does not work. This means all test runs that rely on the JeOS-firstboot wizard (i.e. all test runs that do not use ignition/combustions/cloud-init) are affected.

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1229336#c37 outlines that the graphical display is not expected to work on PPC, so we need to make a test runs that utilizes the JeOS-firstboot wizard via the serial terminal. This should replace the currently used firstrun module and possibly also modify the bootloader_uefi module accordingly.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: A test module installs SLEM6 using the JeOS-firstboot wizard via Serial Terminal need to add rd.kiwi.install.pass.bootparam=console=tty as kernel parameter
• AC2: The "Latest" SLEM6 job group will use this in their ppc64 test runs in the non-ignition/combustion/cloud-init test runs
