Test Matrix

This will be expanded to a more complete matrix. But for now add things you need/would like to see/... to be tested.

Stuff for CentosPlus

Installation Test Matrix

This matrix describes all the different ways to install CentOS. If you successfully tested a certain way on a certain platform you can add the letter of your hardware profile in the matrix in the correct cell. If you have a failure then add a note below the matrix in the numbered list and add the number of your entry in the cell.

If there are already 5 letters in a cell for tests on real hardware or inside Xen, or if there are already 3 letters for the other platforms then you do not need to add a letter if your test was successful. If your test failed then leave the letters in the cell but add the number of your note.

  1. As of 19 Nov 2007 0600UTC: attempted to update from the QA-update tree. mkinitrd says it needs nash 5.1.19.6-1 which is already on the system. -AkemiYagi 

    •    Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies
   Error: Package mkinitrd needs nash = 5.1.19.6-1, this is not available.

    • 1a -- This is also a multilib issue, I've run a yum update from the x86_64 os tree and that worked for me. -- TimVerhoeven 1b-- Update at 1230UTC 19 Nov 2007: Re-sync'd the os x86_64 tree, generated metadata and tried the update from there. This time NO dependencies problem and all went through. -AkemiYagi

  2. Japanese version installed. Confirmed NO garbled letters in anaconde slides. -AkemiYagi

  3. vmware guests updated from 5.0 fully updated -> 5.1 (base+updates) for i386 and x86_64 arches: minimal/lamp/desktop. I need to build the kernel-vm for 5.1...-TruHuynh

  4. kickstart used to generate the vmware guests (minimal/lamp/desktop) were used to test the fresh install from ftp on real 32 bits hardware. -TruHuynh

  5. Installing a 32bit domU with PVM on a 64bit dom0 consistently get's me a kernel panic. -- TimVerhoeven

Function Test Matrix

This matrix describes different functional tests. If you successfully tested a item from the matrix then you can add a X to the cell. If you have a failure then add a note below the matrix in the numbered list and add the number of your entry in the cell.

If there are already 5 letters in a cell for that test then you do not need to add a letter if your test was successful. If your test failed then leave the letters in the cell but add the number of your note.
