Tests done on x86_64 Hardware

Use this template to report all the tests you have done. If you create bugs on bugs.centos.org it would be nice to add a link to it in your notes.

1. Platform name : A name for your HW platform and change the letter A to be in sequence

   • Tester : Your WIKI name.

   • Partitioning : Describe method of partitioning (default, custom, ...). For fresh installs, say N/A for upgraded systems.

   • Storage Location : Say LocalStorage for local disks (the normal case). Say RemoteStorage and specify the type if you have used something else (FC SAN, iSCSI SAN, ...)

   • Virtual : Say No if you installed on real hardware, say yes and specify the kind (Xen, VMware, KVM, ..) if you did use some kind of virtualization.

   • Hardware : What kind of hardware did you test on. Both virtual and real if you said yes in the previous line.

lspci output from your system.

   as above

• Notes : Simple minimal 5.3 install, both i386 and x86_64 domU, then a yum upgrade over the wire first against a 'as shipped' yum configs (functionally pointing into 5.2 updates, and later to a local mirrored archive. Uneventful, except that some later security updates [avahi, nss, avahi-compat-libdns_sd and nss-tools] from 5.2 appeared in the first case. Non-disabling. More color: here and there

• Notes :

  • DVD install of KDE+GNOME with all development packages, multimedia, emacs, office apps, NFS, Samba
  • Initial boot screen had white space at the top rather than artwork.
  • Otherwise install, updates, and install of 3rd party packages for TV tuner, mplayer, ffmpeg, Octave, Java, browser plugins, etc. from RPMforge, ATrpms, EPEL, Adobe, Sun, and local rebuilds went smoothly.
