#3 Updated by riafarov about 6 years ago

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/950472#previous is a good example for this issue, as it works on malbec, but fails on QA-Power8-5-kvm even though not always. I tried to reproduce this locally on qemu, but could successfully open install console, so doesn't appear like a product issue.

#4 Updated by nicksinger about 6 years ago

Me and riafarov ran "Build0396-cryptlvm+activate_existing" multiple times on multiple workers with the same build. (Also a previous build ran twice on QA-Power8-5 with two failures)
Turns out that the QA-Power8-5 worker fails quiet often to switch console while installing (module "install_and_reboot"). Malbec on the other hand runs this job pretty solid and succeeds in switching the console.

So maybe that's a hint; the broken part on QA-Power8-5 somehow influences console switching in the SUT.

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/952003/file/autoinst-log.txt shows 08:12:40.8553 121412 WARNING: There is some problem with your environment, we detected a stall for 16.276829957962 seconds which is really bad. Means we missed the grub screen for sure. I am wondering why there is no "stall detected" popup in the thumbnails. Shouldn't there be one?
