That second one is a doozy - it causes most of the failures - and I'm
going to look into it a bit more now. But it's at least the case that
default installs of the KDE live, Server netinst and Server DVD, and
the 'KDE package set' install test from the Server DVD, all install
fine, but just get stuck at a black screen after grub when trying to
boot the installed system. Minimal installs, however - like the default
install of the Everything netinst, and the 'universal' tests which
explicitly select the 'Fedora Custom Operating System' package set
(which is basically the same thing as 'minimal install') - boot fine.
I'll poke into this a bit more manually.
So this seems to be some kind of kernel issue which showed up with
kernel 4.10; when the openQA VMs are run with '-cpu host', this problem
happens. I poked into it a bit and filed
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1406609 . Running the tests
with '-cpu Nehalem' instead seems to work fine, so I've changed both
openQA instances over to that for now, and done a full re-run of the
20161219.n.0 tests on both instances (those are running now).
