Description of problem: I've tried several of my local spins today to see if verifying the image during boot is working. It seems to be not to work. Also the latest official release, Fedora 9 Preview, has the same problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): latest git How reproducible: ever Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora-9-Preview 2. Select "Verify and boot" Actual results: nothing happens Expected results: media should be verified Additional info: The live image itself boots fine. The only problem is that it doesn't verify itself.
Ugh. This is because isomd5sum is getting installed after the kernel and thus the initrd isn't ending up with checkisomd5sum Could make mkinitrd depend on isomd5sum, but that's a little bit ugly. But given where we are time-wise, it's probably the only viable solution. The real fix is that we need support within rpm to hint that things should be installed first
Or actually, it looks like I can get away with adding some whiteout in livecd-creator... starting a full set of images to make sure I'm not missing something.
Yeah, I lied. I just got lucky with the image I built and it was already ending up with the right ordering. Just going to build mkinitrd with the requires.
This worked in a test of a F9 livecd a couple of days ago.
