Description
This case tests upgrading from the current stable release (Fedora 40) to the development release (Fedora 41) while updating the existing bootloader configuration.
How to test
- Perform a default installation of the previous Fedora release (Fedora 40)
- Modify the bootloader configuration (e.g. grub.conf, yaboot.conf, elilo.conf or zipl.conf depending on your platform). Append several useless kernel arguments and increase the boot timeout. You're looking to make enough changes that you can verify they remain after the upgrade. For example, considering adding a kernel boot arguments:
TESTING=cool ABC. - Boot the Fedora 41 installer using any available means (boot.iso, DVD, CD or PXE)
- After anaconda is started successfully,select default language,keyoard, and then select "Upgrade an existing installation"
- Select "Update boot loader configuration" to upgrade
- After upgrade finished, reboot the system
- Login upgraded system and perform some basic desktop operations
- Open a terminal
- Open file browser
- or other system applications
Expected Results
- The system should be upgraded to Fedora 41 version without error
- The bootloader configuration changes are present in the upgraded system
- The system can boot into new version fedora without error
- The opened terminal, file browser, or other system applications should display and work correctly
