Marking as F17 Blocker: The installer must be able to complete an installation using the serial console interface https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Beta_Release_Criteria I have found out that if I use "serial console=ttyS0" boot options, anaconda behaves fine - grub menu is displayed over serial console and grub.cfg menu items contain console=ttyS0 option. But "serial" boot option is deprecated, this is displayed during boot: dracut Warning: 'serial' is deprecated and has been removed. dracut Warning: To change the console use 'console=' instead. Two options here: 1. Re-introduce "serial" keyword in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda_Boot_Options and modify dracut not to spit out that warning -or- 2. Fix anaconda to correctly set up grub even if "serial" boot option is not present, just "console=ttyS0" is. Fix commited to F17 branch and will appear in the next anaconda build. anaconda-17.29-1.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-17.29-1.fc17 +1 blocker per criterion, the intention is that doing a serial install as per documentation should work. Adjusting the documentation to match the behaviour is possible, but a bit icky, and we have time for a respin. The respin shouldn't invalidate results from other tests. +1 blocker. As long as this fix is isolated, seems good to me to respin. +1 blocker as the fix is simple enough not to break too many other things at the same time and there's enough time left for a new RC. Otherwise I'd have gone with +1 NTH instead and CommonBugs/de-deprecate "serial" in anaconda docs, since that used to be the way to go in earlier version and most people wouldn't notice the bug because of that, anyway. tflink and bcl were +1 blocker in IRC, so that's +5: accepted. +1 to blocker sadly F17 RC4 fixed this. anaconda-17.29-1.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
