When booting proposed images which have not yet migrated to the release
pocket, one must also specify 'apt-setup/proposed=true' and the mirror
you use must have up to date bionic-proposed.
It is best to not download d-i from ports.ubuntu.com, but instead please
use your local mirror - to ensure the d-i published there, matches the
available kernel udebs on your mirror. You should be mirroring
main/installer-* and main/debian-installer/*.
Also please specify which d-i serial number is in use. (check
/var/lib/dpkg/info for the debian-installer package) or instead of the
symlink url /current/ use the one with the build serial and let me know
which one that is.
Also note, that 20101020ubuntu535 build serial has migrated to bionic-
release, thus if you are using 20101020ubuntu535 or later, with an up to
date mirror, 'apt-setup/proposed=true' should not be needed and you
should have access to all the latest kernel modules.
If you do not, please check that your mirror is up to date. It was fully
published on 2018-03-27 03:04:31 BST, together with the 4.15.0-13.14
kernel. Is 20101020ubuntu535 d-i synced to your internal mirror yet?
I am marking this bug report incomplete until you provide the d-i serial
number in use.
(please note, this is not the first time that d-i erorrs are reported
_without_ specifying d-i serial number in use. Without d-i serial
number, it is very hard to speculate and assist with your queries.)

== 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.
== Comment: #6 - Vaishnavi Bhat <vaish123 at in.ibm.com> - 2018-02-26 09:04:33 ==
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.
