Description Adam Williamson 2016-02-25 01:54:06 UTC
The inst.stage2 parameter in the boot menu entries for Server DVD images produced by Pungi 4 looks like this:

inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Fedora-S-boot-x86_64-(version)

this is incorrect. Note the '-boot-'. It should be '-dvd-'. Due to this error, the images do not boot. If you manually edit the cmdline and change -boot- to -dvd-, the images boot OK.

Verified with https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/rawhide/Fedora-Rawhide-20160222.n.0/compose/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-Rawhide-20160222.n.0.iso and https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/branched/Fedora-24-20160224.n.0/compose/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-24-20160224.n.0.iso (so both Rawhide and 24).

This is an automatic Fedora 24 Alpha blocker: "Complete failure of any release-blocking TC/RC image to boot at all under any circumstance - "DOA" image (conditional failure is not an automatic blocker)". We don't technically have a TC yet, but this issue would certainly affect one.

Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2016-02-25 01:55:23 UTC
I believe the parameter is actually produced in lorax - in share/templates.d/99-generic/x86.tmpl , specifically - but I *think* the isolabel value that uses is ultimately passed in from Pungi. I tried to figure out how the Server DVD compose process actually works, but couldn't grok it, or find any relevant logs.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2016-03-01 00:02:02 UTC
This seems to be resolved in the last few composes (both 24 and Rawhide), they're now reaching anaconda and blowing up on the glibc langpack problem.
