Well, I'm sure all of you are still reading over the summary and meeting |
2 |
logs, but when you're done, I'd like to get everyone's involvement in |
3 |
helping create the three checklists we plan on distributing. The lists |
4 |
are Beta, QA, and Release. For the most part, they will overlap quite |
5 |
heavily, but I still see the need for keeping them separate. |
6 |
|
7 |
In the case of Beta and Release, we'll also want to ask people for |
8 |
specific information about their environment (hardware, software, etc.) |
9 |
that will help us to troubleshoot the issues and focus more energy on |
10 |
the worst problems. |
11 |
|
12 |
I'll start us off: |
13 |
|
14 |
- Which media did you download? (Minimal, Universal, LiveCD, LiveDVD) |
15 |
- Did the media pass MD5/SHA1 checks? (If you didn't check, say so.) |
16 |
|
17 |
- Does the media boot on your system? |
18 |
- If not, what errors were reported? |
19 |
- Did you use any command line options? |
20 |
- If so, which ones? |
21 |
|
22 |
- After boot, were all of your devices detected? |
23 |
- If not, what was not detected? |
24 |
- What driver does this device use? |
25 |
- Is the driver on the media? (Say "don't know" if you're unsure.) |
26 |
|
27 |
- Did previous releases work where this one is not? |
28 |
|
29 |
- What chipset is your motherboard? IDE? SATA? |
30 |
- Do you use external controllers for SATA/SAS/SCSI/etc.? |
31 |
- If so, which ones? |
32 |
- How much RAM is in your system? |
33 |
- Did you try to boot with "docache" enabled? |
34 |
- What video card(s) do you have? |
35 |
- Was it properly detected? |
36 |
- Did X start properly? |
37 |
|
38 |
This should be a pretty decent start and give everyone an idea of what |
39 |
we would be looking for with these checklists. What things do you think |
40 |
need to be checked for and what information do you think we would need |
41 |
to properly diagnose any issues? |
