Release criteria proposal: except BitLocker-enabled installs from Windows dual-boot criterion bootloader requirement

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For background here, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2049849

right now, when installing Fedora alongside a Windows install with
BitLocker enabled, trying to boot Windows from the Fedora boot menu
does not work.

We waived the bug as a blocker for Fedora 36 on the basis upstream did
not consider it fixable within the F36 timeframe. We agreed that if
upstream still couldn't get this fixed for F37, we'd consider revising
the criteria.

Well, we're approaching F37 Final and the bug is still open, and
there's no appreciable movement upstream, so I'm proposing the criteria
change. I propose we change this:

"The installer must be able to install into free space alongside an
existing clean Windows installation and install a bootloader which can
boot into both Windows and Fedora."

to say:

"The installer must be able to install into free space alongside an
existing clean Windows installation. As long as the Windows
installation does not have BitLocker enabled, the installer must also
install a bootloader which can boot into both Windows and Fedora."
