Since the testcases listed at the QA/Tracker for the ppc64el daily-live images are quite limited,
I want to request to add the following additional test and very common use case:
"Install with NetBoot"
1) Boot up a system in Petitboot using IPMI and select 'Exit to shell'
2) Download the ISO extract or loop-back mount it:
wget http://path/to/image.iso # proxy might be needed: export http_proxy=http://squid.internal:3128
mkdir iso
mount -o loop image.iso iso
3) start installation with kexec:
kexec -l ./iso/casper/vmlinux --initrd=./iso/casper/initrd.gz --append="ip=dhcp url=http://path/to/image.iso --- quiet" # proxy might be needed: http_proxy=http://squid.internal:3128
kexec -e
4) Initial subiquity screen will pop-up, choose the desired language
5) On the network configuration screen, just select Done (it should be selected by default)
6) On the filesystem setup screen, select "Use An Entire Disk" (it should be selected by default)
7) Choose a disk to install to
8) On the file system summary screen select Done (it should be selected by default)
9) In the confirmation dialog, select "Continue" (it should not be selected by default)
10) Fill out the user information, making sure to import your SSH keys from somewhere
11) Wait for the install to complete
12) Remove the installation media (CDROM or USB key)
13) Reboot the system
14) Ensure that you can log into the system with the username and password you provided
15) Ensure that you can run commands with sudo
16) Check that the correct SSH keys have been imported by SSHing into the machine or looking in ~/.ssh./
