Hi Basil,

I’ve not encountered this, but I’m not sure how many people use boot_linaro_kernel.

Tyler: Do you use boot_linaro_kernel on fastmodels from kernel-ci? If so, have you seen this problem?

Hello All,
 
Before I report this as a bug thought to check if this is a known issue or not. Do confirm.
 
We were trying to use lava-test-shell in running pm-qa on AEMv8 and CortexA57xA53 model variants.
 
Based on what we have run we could see that if we use boot_linaro_image as the image deployment mode, there are no issues, LAVA is able to run the lava-test-shell successfully.
 
However when we use boot_linaro_kernel as the image deployment mode, we see lava-test-shell fails due to network being reported as ‘down’.
 
Is this something known already? Or should  I raise  a bug report?
 
 
Details::
 
deploy_linaro_image – 
 
Attaching the exact test def for reference.
 
Here we use the hwpack and a modified rootfs (added test suite in it) and then uses boot_linaro_image and provides some uefi boot commands through ‘boot_cmds’ and override some model flags using the ‘options’ parameter.
 
deploy_linaro_kernel – 
 
Attaching the exact test def for reference
 
Here we use ‘boot_image’ with commands through boot_cmds and model flags using ‘sim_options’ parameter.
 
 
In the sim options even if we give 
 
                    "-C bp.hostbridge.interfaceName=anything",
                    "-C bp.smsc_91c111.enabled=true",
                    "-C bp.smsc_91c111.mac_address=00:11:22:33:44:53"
 
It don’t seem to get networking setup correctly.
 
We could see the initial boot successful and as part of doing the lava-test-shell execution, the pre-requisite of network being up fails!

Note: Attaching only the test definitions in the email, let me know if full logs from the successful and failed runs needs to be shared, or I do that via big report if it is confirmed so.
 
 
Thanks
