Urgent call for testing: OS X dual boot
Hi, folks! We've had an F25 blocker proposed for failure to install as a dual boot with OS X: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1393846 is there anyone who has an OS X system they can run this kind of test on (i.e. one they don't mind getting messed up if something goes wrong)? We would like more testing data so we can figure out if this is a system-specific issue or if all OS X dual boot is broken. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

How old can the OSX box be? I have in a box an old Mac mini (Dual core and can only officially supported to 10.7) I have no issues to put to service.

Does this still need testing? I have a MacBook pro I could try it on. Langdon On Thu, Nov 10, 2016, 13:33 Mauricio Tavares wrote: > How old can the OSX box be?

What's the filename of the ISO you're testing and how was the install media created? I don't know that it matters, but we should track it in case it's a factor. In particular I'm wondering if it's live media vs netinstaller. And you do hit the bug with Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25-1.2.iso ? > Although grub is a bit annoying.

So Anaconda leaves OS X in > a non booting state. But Fedora works :-) That's probably https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893179 Both entries are now obsolete and can't work for multiple reasons. The upstream code has bit rotted. The way forward is to chainload the Apple bootloader on the recovery/boot volume; or just drop OS X autodetect and expect the user to press the option key at boot time to get the firmware's boot manager. -- Chris Murphy ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Plus also this was a dual disk installation that almost certainly excluded the volume macOS is on, because it wouldn't have been selected as a destination. So chances are this bug was in beta. -- Chris Murphy ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
