## Observation openQA test in scenario sle-15-Installer-DVD-s390x-skip_registration+workaround_modules@zkvm fails in [bootloader_zkvm](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1209036/modules/bootloader_zkvm/steps/25) Message in autoinst-log.txt: ``` no/incomplete answer. Please make sure your installation medium is available. ``` ## Reproducible Fails since (at least) Build [300.1](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1209036) (current job) ## Acceptance criteria **AC1:** DONE: <del>get an idea about the root cause</del> **AC2:** DONE: <del>gather statistics - it's pretty sporadic</del> **AC3:** DONE: <del>Come Come up with a fix or a workaround to mitigate the issue</del> -> better debug options with this [PR](https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/4725), real workaround is to restart the job issue **AC4:** DONE: <del>Implement Implement post_fail_hook to bootloader_s390 and bootloader_zkvm to gather e.g. linuxrc logs (/var/log/linuxrc)</del> -> see [Pull Request](https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/4725) (/var/log/linuxrc) ## Expected result Last good: [299.1](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1208375) (or more recent) ## Problem Happens in about 5/100 cases (see comments) and most likely for the first tests in a new build, shortly after a new build hits openQA. Retriggering helps here. * REJECTED <del>**H1:** Jobs are scheduled before the build was actually completely synced to osd -> **E1-1** Check logs of osd:/var/log/openqa_rsync.log and the jobs log to see if the job is triggered before syncing is complete</del> * REJECTED <del>**H2:** Something about caching over network?</del> * **H3:** Many jobs starting at the same time cause an overload causing the installer to get a negative reply trying to access the FTP server -> * **E3-1** Trigger many jobs in parallel for an existing build, e.g. the previous build when the test queue for s390x is empty * **E3-2** Check if there are any logs on osd regarding the ftp server to see if there was a deny or apache logs?# * ACCEPTED **H4:** Network adapter cannot be set up correctly and therefor linuxrc falls back to dhcp which is not set up for s390 subnet ## Further details Always latest result in this scenario: [latest](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/latest?distri=sle&flavor=Installer-DVD&arch=s390x&test=skip_registration%2Bworkaround_modules&version=15&machine=zkvm) ## Workaround Retrigger jobs. They should be able to find the repo after retriggering.
