[question/image_tests/configuration]: what is expected to be verified on kernel command line args about compute-image-tools

[gut]

@zmarano : can you please help me on this one?

[zmarano]

Yeah we may have to break this out more and I am not sure how deep we want to get with validation.
The most important arg that should be the same everywhere is:
console=ttyS0,38400n8

Distros that support multiqueue SCSI should have (Debian 9 and all Ubuntu releases):
scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=Y

Most distros should also have but I don't believe all will so we may ignore that:
elevator=noop

Some distros (Debian is the one I know of) will disable predictive network interface naming which affects networkrules:
net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0

[gut]

And about the other test : "Ensure boot loader configuration for console logging is correct."? At the moment I'm considering having it implicitly tested by the other tests, as many use the console to communicate through "WaitForInstancesSignal"

[gut]

or is it simply the "console=ttyS0,38400n8" as you said?

[zmarano]

Oh yes, the console logging is just that:
console=ttyS0,38400n8
should exist in the kernel cmdline.
