Testing Fedora 30 Workstation potential beta drop 0224

Testing Fedora 30 Workstation potential beta drop 0224:

The ISO was down loaded and checked against the CHECKSUM file and 
passed. The ISO was burned to a DVD and the DVD check sum passed. The 
DVD was used to boot the bare metal test system (Lenovo M58p with E8400 
processor). The system booted normally and Anaconda started and the disk 
settings of Delete all and Reclaim space were selected. The installation 
completed with no problems.

Notable results:

The media check did not run after boot before Anaconda started

There were no problems listed with processes not starting (systemctl 
--all --failed).

The journal was running and showing current data (journalctl -aeb) with 
no unusual issues posted/

There was one crash of Gnome Software (3.31.2-2.fc30.x86_64). I can not 
identify a possible cause.

Gnome Settings (gnome-control-panel) no longer crashes when the Details 
tab is clicked.

Gnome setting has a problem with the window re-sizing the panels within 
the window when the Notifications, Search, Universal Access, or Network 
tabs are clicked. This results in the Settings becoming temporarily 
unusable. The work around is to close and restart Settings and when the 
Settings window first appears, set it to full screen mode. The Settings 
window and panels work normally in the full screen state.

More testing tomorrow.

Have a Great Day!

I advise editing the grub entry, adding parameters `rd.debug
systemd.log_level=debug` which will boot a lot slower and will have a
super verbose journal. It's up to dracut's
/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90dmsquash-live/checkisomd5@.service to
translate rd.live.check parameter into the systemd service startup for
actually doing the check. But also why does the boot just not fail?
I'm pretty sure that code requires checkisomd5 succeed or the boot is
halted. That's the point of the check.

Once that boots and you can get to a shell:
# journalctl -o short-monotonic > /tmp/journal.log

And then scp it out and attach to a bug report.

Anyway, it shall be revealed to us.

OK I can't reproduce this with either

-rw-rw-r--. 1 chris chris  658505728 Feb 25 18:21
Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-30-20190224.n.0.iso
-rw-rw-r--. 1 chris chris 1944256512 Feb 25 18:20
Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-20190224.n.0.iso

Both of them go through the media check, I see the usual % status, and
then the report that it passes. For whatever reason the
Workstation-Live media is slow.

I just checked, and I can't reproduce this. I tested the Workstation
live and netinst images on both UEFI and BIOS VMs; in each case, the
'media check' option was the default on the bootloader, and the media
check did actually run when that option was chosen.
