Description
In order to run post_fail_hook and benefit from information about potential installer boot issues, I would like to suggest split boot_from_pxe.
With respect to PXE limitations and its purpose to specify kernel boot parameters, I would expect to have a better chance to distinguish between a production bug and possible test environmental issues.
The post_fail_hook call is currently bond to the TTYs/consoles, which are not available during the interaction with PXE. TTYs/consoles are available just before yast2 installer shows up. https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2540029#step/boot_from_pxe/7.
There are no benefits from post fail hook execution as long as the failure happens in PXE.
