[Panicsel-developers] RE: About test suites for panicsel

[Cress, A. R <and...@in...>]

Guo Min,

Here are the comments I had looking through the tests you have.

For showsel option -w, it would be good to also verify that after running
it, the SEL entries appear in /var/log/messages as expected.

For showsel option -s, there may not be any OS Critical Stop messages,
unless you have previously forced a panic (as with dopanic).

For pefconfig -n 9, it should not succeed, since it shouldn't permit
overwriting one of the built-in entries at that offset.

For pefconfig -n 14, I believe that it may need to have the 12 & 13 entries
filled first.

For pefconfig -C, you may want to use something other than "public", since
that is the default and it would be hard to tell if it set the specified
string or the default string.

For the tmconfig basic test, you should probably use tmconfig -r to find out
if the utility runs, without changing anything.

About tmconfig:
On a Langley-Pr, "tmconfig" without options, should set up the TMode shared
parameters.
On a Langley-Tu or CoosBay, "tmconfig -s" is the mode to set up BMode shared
parameters.

For the hwreset power cycle, I don't think that the ACPI configuration
matters.
