## Observation openQA test in scenario opensuse-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-gnuhealth@64bit fails in [gnuhealth_install](http://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/572771/modules/gnuhealth_install/steps/12) ## Reproducible Fails since about two weeks now in most but not all cases. ## Expected result https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/572779 is an example that worked but possibly only by chance ## Problem * **H1:** systemd service `getty@.service` automatically spawns on ttyS0 as we specify the kernel command line parameter `console=ttyS0` which is starting a getty on ttyS0 which is periodically resetting permissions on /dev/ttyS0 while the installation of packages might take a bit longer or shorter sometimes causing a race condition * **H2:** only reproduced on faster o3 infrastructure * **H3:** different o3 network structure * **H4:** different qemu or os-autoinst version * **H5:** REJECT: when booting the disk image different (no SKIPTO use) -> see #29940#note-3 ## Suggestions * Reproduce locally with statistics (e.g. 10 times) -> could not be reproduced (yet) see #29940#note-2 through #29940#note-4 * Refactor all cases of 'chown.*serialdev' * Disable service if running with `systemctl mask getty@$serialdev` * Crosscheck other potential uses of getty on different architectures and backends, e.g. ipmi, s390x z/VM, etc. ## Further details Always latest result in this scenario: [latest](http://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/latest?arch=x86_64&flavor=DVD&distri=opensuse&test=gnuhealth&version=Tumbleweed&machine=64bit)
