Guest OS Support Results

This page provides the results of testing guest operating systems on a Fedora 17 KVM host.

There are 4 test cases to be evaluated against each guest OS:

• Test case 1: ISO media inspection - whether virt-inspector can find info for the ISO install media
• Test case 2: Installation - verify that the installer runs to completion without unexpected problems
• Test case 3: Post-install first boot - verify the resulting installed image can successfully boot up again
• Test case 4: Disk image inspection - whether virt-inspect can find info for the resulting installed OS disk image

Other distro

Any other guest OS you might find. Yes, right back to MS-Dos 1.0 if you have it. We want to collect as much knowledge as possible
