Description
Observation¶
openQA test in scenario opensuse-Tumbleweed-DVD-ppc64le-textmode@ppc64le fails in
welcome
showing character artifacts.
Reproducible¶
Fails since (at least) Build 20170505
Expected result¶
Last good: 20170504 (or more recent)
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1025622 is a bug used as label in other related jobs. It suggests to add "console=hvc". Probably this is what we should do.
Further details¶
Always latest result in this scenario: latest
- Description updated (diff)
I do not understand what detailed changes need to be done to implement the suggestion to add "console=hvc"
In the mean time I added two workaround needles used in (1)
(1) https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/410374
- Status changed from New to In Progress
Adding "console=hvc" would mean within the test code as part of os-autoinst-distri-opensuse one would need to find all locations where "console=…" is set in the bootloader parameters for either the installation system (linuxrc) only or also the installed system (grub command line). In this case for ppc64(le) I assume it's the methods bootmenu_default_params and specific_bootmenu_params in lib/bootloader_setup.pm for the ppc64le (and/or ppc64) branch.
open questions:
- what is the exact call path now for ppc64le?
- does it differ for ppc64?
- is the console already set at all?
- Priority changed from Normal to Low
