Description David Hildenbrand 2017-12-13 11:31:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
Currently it is not possible to boot a KVM guest on s390x from a Fedora CD-ROM ISO image. The firmware that bootstraps a KVM guest expects the so-called El-Torito boot information in an ISO image, but currently the Fedora ISO images are built without this El-Torito boot information on s390x. So please add support for El-Torito in the s390x Fedora ISO images. Other distributions already include this in their images.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
any

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the Fedora ISO for s390x (e.g. Fedora-Everything-netinst-s390x-27-1.6.iso)

$ wget https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/27/Everything/s390x/iso/Fedora-Everything-netinst-s390x-27-1.6.iso

2. Create a qcow image

$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 guest.qcow2 8G

3. Run qemu-kvm to start the guest with the ISO image, e.g.:

$ /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -nographic -m 2G -device virtio-scsi -drive \
    file=Fedora-Everything-netinst-s390x-27-1.6.iso,format=raw,if=none,id=c1 \
    -device scsi-cd,drive=c1 -hda guest.qcow2


Actual results:
LOADPARM=[........]
Using virtio-scsi.
SCSI CD-ROM detected.
No suitable boot entry found on ISO-9660 media!


Expected results:
Guest boots from ISO and is able to install.


Additional info:

To reproduce, one can also (soon) use upstream qemu TCG e.g. on x86. Ask me for details if you need details or want it to be verified.

Note that this feature is included in lorax 28.2, I can back-port it to the F27 version, but new media will not be created -- you will have to build your own.
Comment 2 David Hildenbrand 2017-12-14 12:45:37 UTC 
Brian, meaning it should be included starting with Fedora 28?

Thanks!
Comment 3 Brian Lane 2018-05-17 18:31:14 UTC 
This is fixed in lorax-28.2-1
