Hey,

I noticed that the page for network install only has the legacy method
(PXE). To make it work in the new world of UEFI I've been using iPXE
(which works fine with rawhide), but I didn't see a test-case for that.

Hence wondering if that was by mistake or if just nobody got to doing
it?

Thanks.

We had been doing the testing, it just that we (or rather me and

Dariof) seem to get a wind of this at the last minute. Not sure exactly 

how to fix that thought.

You could boot in text mode (so recovery) with 'nouveau.modeset=0'.
Set up your network, SSH in the box, and then 'exec /sbin/init 5'
to start X. Then from your SSH session run 'dmesg' to get that
output.

Oh, you should also have 'debug loglevel=8' on your Linux command
line.

Looks good to me.. thought as a first time user of AWS, the process
of creating an account and the verification was a bit slow.

Also, when finally creating an account I've had no idea what to
actually select. I saw something about free Amazon Micro EC2
but no idea how to use it. Finally figured out that I am suppose
to use the "Classic" workflow.


Perhaps adding in a comment saying: "As setting up a first-time AWS account
can take sometimes a few hours, it is recommended that the user create this in
advance."

Also perhaps a link to do when nothing shows up. For example I just
created an ami-5f16d836 and all lights are green but I can't connect to it.
Perhaps some link to "how to get debug/bootup logs" from the instance?

Or how to add 'debug loglevel=8' to the kernel bootup? IF that is is
possible?

It would be nice to expand the tests, and it kind of boils down to:

1) Does it boot
2) Does it work 

The complexity is that there are three modes of this: HVM (so similar
to the KVM test-case), PV (we got that covered now), and the Dom0 (which
is mostly - does it boot and you kind of implicitly need to do this before
you can do the other two).

So I think it makes sense to add the HVM case in the test-matrix - it
is pretty simple and similar to the KVM one.

The dom0 is a bit more complex, but we already have it outlined in the
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvopsDom0 in the Documentation
part - so it should be fairly easy to lift it out of there. (adn the stuff
about the bridge is not needed anymore).

Is there a good template for these QA test-cases? I can flesh it a bit
and provide local-type QA, which is:

1). Install Dom0
2). Install DomU
3). Do stuff.

Installed that as Xen DomU (fully virtualized - HVM) and it installs fine
and boots fine. Albeit the network seems to have gone away - had to run
/etc/init.d/network restart to get it back.

Install it as Xen DomU (PV) guest works now. Booting up the guest afterwards..
well that is a new bug :-)

That particular bug I believe has been fixed. Just needs to test it
when it shows up in the install image (look for the install image
having lorax-16.4.5-1 rpm)

There are kernel developers who are willing to write and test code.
There is also a community of folks who are willing to test install/provide
patches for grub/grub2/grubby/etc.

However, I am ignorant in the ways of making a release go out the door
- so I am not seeing the full picture. What are the missing pieces?

Hm, that ought to work (2.6.39 and later) ? Do you have a BZ for this?

Hey Tim,

I just subscribed to the mailing b/c of this question coming up. A bit of
introduction is probably necessary before I say "please do".

Along with Jeremy Fitzhardinge we maintain the Xen subsystem in the upstream
Linux kernel. The last couple of releases (kernel ones) we have been upstreaming
features to make Linux work as Dom0 and naturally fixing outstanding
bugs for DomU support.

So in terms of kernel developer to fix bugs - that is covered - if any user/QA
opens bugs for Dom0, DomU please CC me on the bug (ketuzs...@darnok.org).

There is also a bunch of enthuastic folks what have been using the latest 
rawhide
and have had openned bugs (with patches!) against user land tools - so there are
folks in the community who can help. I've CC-ed the ones I've been in 
correspondence
in case they are not on this mailing list and want to provide some feedback.

Coming back to the question - I think DomU support should be on the release
criterion - I don't know know enough about the Fedora processes to know whether
it should be in final or beta or what not - leaving that to folks who know more
about this.
