Test day proposal

Extending [1] test coverage but this time actually installing a Fedora system and not just booting the live OS, we want a new test day with the aim of testing grub2-2.12-50.fc44 [2] again on a fresh system. On previous test day [1], this fix was already embedded into the live OS so it was just a matter of live booting and nothing else, but this time the idea is to actually install a system and then install the corresponding fix. [2] was supposed to fix bz#2263643 but unfortunately some systems were affected with other non-OOM issues bz#2427945 where apparently GRUB has trouble finding the partitions. In particular, we want to identify those machines that fail and see the particular partitioning scheme.

Prerequisite for the Test Day

• A bare metal machine (no VM)
• Download [3] and write it to a USB through Fedora Media Writer
• Make sure Secure Boot is enable (mokutil --sb-state)

Test case

1. Install Latest Fedora OS live image [3] and decide any convenient partition layout for your needs
2. Once installed, run 'lsblk -f'
3. Run 'koji download-build --arch=x86_64 --arch=noarch grub2-2.12-50.fc44' and install the corresponding rpms
4. reboot
5. share the following results:
5.1. desktop motherboard name, or laptop manufacturer + model name.
5.2. HW info: 'lshw -short'
5.3. Partition layout: 'lsblk -f'

Time Frame

We need data so as soon as possible. Realistically starting Feb, any week?
