[Bug 1704524] Re: Zesty installation on ppc64le not working at all

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Looking at the log, something odd is shown:
Jul 28 17:46:03 main-menu[1401]: (process:68930):   Volume group "sda" not found
Jul 28 17:46:03 main-menu[1401]: (process:68930):   Cannot process volume group sda
Jul 28 17:46:04 main-menu[1401]: INFO: Menu item 'finish-install' selected

Could you please confirm that the disks (/dev/sda _and_ /dev/sdb) visible during the installation are:
1) wiped clean
2) do not have any remains of any ubuntu installation
3) do not have any remains of any lvm metadata
4) are not used as part of LVM
5) and lvm volumes or groups are not named with names that class with normal devices, e.g. "sda" is not used a a volume group name

  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.
