Thanks.  That seems to be quite an old version, older than anything we have
in the lab - the oldest firmware revision we have, per previous guidance
from IBM, is SV810_126.  Do IBM consider SV810_101 supported?  I know we
have seen bugs in firmware / nvram state where systems would fail to boot
from disk following a netboot, and I think it's possible this is one of
them.

  Zesty installation on ppc64le not working at all

Bug description:
  I’m trying to install Ubuntu 17.04 on a ppc64le server, however the
  system does not boot after the installation is completed.

  I can install Ubuntu 16.04 using the same settings without any
  problems. I tried guided partitioning with and without LVM using
  netboot and ISO image installer.
