Description

Was created mainly due failing RAID tests on aarch64, see https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1032058

The problem is that ESP partition /boot/efi is created on RAID1 volume which is not supported by UEFI - EFI is compatible only with MBR/GPT tables with FAT partition and cannot read mdadm magic superblocks. So the machine is not able to boot after installation.

Updated by thehejik over 7 years ago

I found one issue on aarch64 (but only slow xgene2 and mustang2 workers, on seattle6 it works fine) in setraidlevel() from partitioning_raid test.

When selecting wanted RAID level some keystrokes (eg. Tab) are ignored and then the test is failing, see https://openqa.suse.de/tests/881471#step/partitioning_raid/130

I would like to add a wait between keystrokes so then it will look:

sub setraidlevel {
  my ($level) = @_;
  my %entry = (0 => 0, 1 => 1, 5 => 5, 6 => 6, 10 => 'g');
  send_key "alt-$entry{$level}", 2;                              <---- WAIT 2s HERE
  send_key "alt-i", 2;    # move to RAID name input field        <---- WAIT 2s HERE
  send_key "tab";         # skip RAID name input field
}

Imo there is no better solution for it because wait_screen_change() will not match flashing cursor which is the only change in the screen.

I changed setraidlevel function to use wait_screen_change instead of do_wait within send_key. Original PR fixed and still valid.

Hmm, the change didn't help so much :( partitioning_raid still failing on aarch64 workers xgene2 and mustang3. Test is passing only on aarch64 worker seattle6 (but it was passing even before without wait_screen_change). Any idea?

The last attempt didn't help as well :(

As a workaround I will introduce new WORKER_CLASS=qemu_aarch64_working_raid for seattle6 which is the only worker where the test is passing.

Time to time it fails even on seattle6 worker.

Closing, the test is now compatible with EFI, but I found a new issue poo#18828 where the story continues.
