#198 Clarifying ways to verify updated and skipped bootloader

Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by rhe.

The installation matrix now contains the update bootloader and skip bootloader tests which need be updated to better detect whether the bootloader was skipped or updated. (This ticket is branched from [https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/86 ticket#86])

As an aside, are we going to do a specific test for Grub 2 for F16? Or would this be included in the standard testing by default?

David Lehman added some installer tests to the Test Plan on the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/Grub2Migration#Test_Plan Grub2Migration page]. According to it, so far [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_15_Install_Results_Template our install test] covers the 'x86', 'x86/EFI' boot cases and system upgrade tests. I will add some result verification steps like 'Check if grub legacy was upgraded to grub2' to the expected results. In addition, I will add a x86/BIOS(GPT) case to the install plan. For other scenarios such as ppc, migration from other bootloader etc, I prefer to have a test day focusing on grub2 to cover all these tests. Any suggestion on this? Thanks.
