[Bug 1798436] Re: ppc64el lvm guided install: doesn't create /boot, and complains about it

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Confirming, I saw this too. It's partman-auto not doing what it should,
and it should be easy enough to fix the recipe (although there undoubtly
are other bugs that will show up then).

LVM+multipath on ppc64el has been broken for a while, unfortunately...

Title:
  ppc64el lvm guided install: doesn't create /boot, and complains about
  it

Status in partman-auto package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm following the "Install (Default + LVM) in Ubuntu Server ppc64el in
  Cosmic Daily" iso test and was surprised to be warned that my
  partitioning layout didn't include a /boot partition (see screenshot).

  I was offered an option to not continue (the default), or ignore it
  and continue. If I continue, the installation finishes without further
  issues and the vm boots just fine.

  Since I'm using the guided partitioning option, I'm expecting the
  installer to take care of such things. It should either create the
  /boot that it is complaining about, or not complain about it, since it
  seems to be working just fine.

  When selecting the similar "lvm + encryption" option, I don't get
  warned about a missing /boot.
