The test is 'grab a Fedora 32-bit nightly boot.iso (network install)
image and try and boot it'. You can watch it failing in glorious video
technicolor here (the video is sped up, but you can step through frame-
by-frame to catch the errors):

you can download an affected image here:

I guess strictly speaking we're only sure it fails when booted in a
qemu-kvm VM, but I think we did hit the previous incarnation in bare
metal testing too (so far I haven't tried the 4.3 incarnation on
metal).

we don't keep the nightly ISOs around forever, but it'll be there for
at least a couple of weeks.
