closed[sle][virtualization][xen]Xen tests should fix the console setting in grub config during install_and_reboot
0%
Description
Currently the xen virtualization tests boot into a wrong console and use ttyS1, which is not ending up in serial0 - so all wait_serials and script_run fail.
Only then we login into the system (blindly purely based on timeouts/sleeps as we have no working serial) to then fix the grub config and reboot again. This
is suboptimal and we should have a function in install_and_reboot that fixes the grub config for xen serial before the initial reboot.
(why are Xen installations broken anyway? isn't that a product bug?)

Well,we use screenshot, not blindly :(

Yes, this is suboptimal, will integrate it into install_and_reboot.
This task is with lower priority now, but will find time to do it.

I'm afraid it is not a bug. Because xen serial console needs special setting, but during installation via pxe, we do not do it.

The test is "blind" if it is not using assert_screen or assert_script_run
You use screenshot, but openQA is acting 'blind', and conducting it's steps regardless of what is going on. the Tests are not aware of the state of the system under test. That is coolos point.
