upgraded the IPR RAID firmwares to latest VR18, booted with current 4.15.0-10-generic  and we still see this issue.. Only thing which is pending is system firmware, I still believe that should not be a problem
/ # update_flash -d
Current firwmare version :

Do any one else have any bare-metal tuleta to try this out ?

  == Comment: #5 - Breno Leitao <brenohl at br.ibm.com> - 2018-02-26 08:48:31 ==
  it looks like that the ipr driver is loaded in the installer. I am wondering where the problem is.

  Since the IPR based drive is not detectable in the general scenario but only with the workaround, it might be an issue with the installer or the driver being obsolete. But otherwise the ipr module is loaded fine during the installation. 
  Mirroring this bug to the distro for their awareness and being investigated in the IBM side as well.

  Thank you.
