=== Report your results ===


{{anchor|allowwireless}}
If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com Bugzilla] usually for the component [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide&component=biosdevname biosdevname]. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested. For each test case, use the ''result'' template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.

: Use the given proxy settings when performing an HTTP/HTTPS/FTP installation.
 
{{anchor|repo}}
;[[#repo|<code>repo=</code>]]
: This option tells anaconda where to find the packages for installation.  This option must point to a valid yum repository.  It is analagous to the older method= option, but repo= makes it more clear exactly what is meant.  This option may appear only once on the command line.  It may appear multiple times inside a kickstart file.
 
: The value passed to repo= can also be used to find the stage2 image if no CD or stage2= parameter is found.  In this case, the image is looked for by appending images/install.img to the repo parameter.
 
: The following forms are accepted for repo=:
:* <code>repo=cdrom:<device></code>
:* <code>repo=ftp://[user:password@]<host>/<path></code>
:* <code><nowiki>repo=http://<host>/<path></nowiki></code>
:* <code>repo=hd:<device>:/<path></code>
::Look for ISO images on the hard drive partition given by device (/dev/sda1, for instance).  This may not be a partition that will be formatted during installation later.  These should be ISO images, not an exploded tree on the hard drive.  anaconda will not look for the install.img file in any of the ISO images.  The install.img must be placed in <path>/images/, or a stage2= or CD must be provided.  device can be a device name, LABEL=, or UUID=.
:* <code>repo=nfs[:options]:<server>:/<path></code>
:* <code>repo=nfsiso[:options]:<server>:/<path></code>
::Look for ISO images on the NFS volume with the given server and path.  These should be ISO images, not loopback mounted.  anaconda will not look for the install.img file in any of the ISO iamges.  The install.img must be placed in <path>/images/, or a stage2= or CD must be provided.
 
{{anchor|rescue}}
;[[#rescue|<code>rescue</code>]]
: Run rescue environment.
 
{{anchor|resolution}}
;[[#resolution|<code>resolution=<mode></code>]]
: Run installer in mode specified, '1024x768' for example.
 
{{anchor|selinux[}}
;[[#selinux|<code>selinux[=0]</code>]]
: Disables selinux entirely.  Defaults to on.
 
{{anchor|serial}}
;[[#serial|<code>serial</code>]]
: Turns on serial console support.
 
{{anchor|sshd}}
;[[#sshd|<code>sshd</code>]]
: Starts up sshd during system installation.  You can then ssh in while the installation progresses to debug or monitor.  Passwords are controlled via the kickstart sshd command.
 
{{anchor|stage2}}
;[[#stage2|<code>stage2=</code>]]
: Specifies a path to a install.img file instead of to an installation source.  Otherwise, follows the same syntax as <code>repo=</code>.  If this parameter is provided, it takes precedence over all other methods of finding the install.img.  Otherwise, anaconda will attempt to find the install.img first on any existing CD, and then from the location given by repo=/method=.
 
:If only stage2= is given without repo=/method=, anaconda will use whatever repos the installed system would have enabled by default for installation.  For instance, an install of a Fedora release will attempt to use the Fedora mirrorlist given by /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo from that release.
 
{{anchor|syslog}}
;[[#syslog|<code>syslog=<host>[:<port>] </code>]]
: Once installation is up and running, send log messages to the syslog process on <host>, and optionally, on TCP port <port>.  Requires the remote syslog process to accept incoming connections.
 
{{anchor|text}}
;[[#text|<code>text</code>]]
: Force text mode install.  This will install only base packages for a minimal system and implies that the installed system will boot up in runlevel 3 instead of to the graphical login screen.
 
{{anchor|updates}}
;[[#updates|<code>updates</code>]]
: Prompt for removable media containing updates (bug fixes).
 
{{anchor|updates}}
;[[#updates|<code>updates=<url></code>]]
: Image containing updates over FTP or HTTP.
 
{{anchor|upgradeany}}
;[[#upgradeany|<code>upgradeany</code>]]
: Don't require an /etc/redhat-release that matches the expected syntax to upgrade.
 
{{anchor|usefbx}}
;[[#usefbx|<code>usefbx</code>]]
: Use the framebuffer X driver instead of attempting to use a hardware-specific one.
 
{{anchor|utf8}}
;[[#utf8|<code>utf8</code>]]
: Set the TERM variable to vt100.
 
{{anchor|virtiolog}}
;[[#virtiolog|<code>virtiolog=<port_name></code>]]
: Forward logs through the character device at /dev/virtio-ports/<port_name>. See also [[Anaconda/Logging]].
 
{{anchor|vnc}}
;[[#vnc|<code>vnc</code>]]
: Enable vnc-based installation. You will need to connect to the machine using a vnc client application.  A vnc install implies that the installed system will boot up in runlevel 3 instead of to the graphical login screen.
 
{{anchor|vncconnect}}
;[[#vncconnect|<code>vncconnect=<host>[:<port>] </code>]]
: Once installation is up and running, connect to the vnc client named <host>, and optionally use port <port>.
 
{{anchor|vncpassword}}
;[[#vncpassword|<code>vncpassword=<password></code>]]
: Enable a password for the vnc connection. This will prevent someone from inadvertently connecting to the vnc-based installation.  Requires <code>vnc</code> option to be specified as well.  If you have specified <code>vncconnect</code> the <password> will not be used unless connection to host is not possible.
 
{{anchor|wepkey}}
;[[#wepkey|<code>wepkey=<key></code>]]
: Use <key> as the wireless key when doing a network installation via a wireless network.  Requires use of <code>essid</code>.  Only makes sense with <code>allowwireless</code>.
 
{{anchor|xdriver}}
;[[#xdriver|<code>xdriver=<driver></code>]]
: Use <driver> as the X driver to use during installation as well as on the installed system.

Report your results

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component biosdevname. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested. For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.

Useful information to include in your bugzilla report include output from:

  1. works as expected, however "Biosdevname-support-check" doesn't catch dmidecode not installed, and "Biosdevname-upgrade-iface-names" did not work - had to manually edit config files and remove udev persistent net configs, let them regenerate.
  2. Using Dell PER610, em1-em4 were created successfully.
  3. Once I removed the old config files/cleaned up files not handled by the "Biosdevname-upgrade-iface-names" script, it all worked.
