[Bug 1847806] Re: eoan: ppc64el install on pseries-eoan VM fails to install

[Frank Heimes]

@ pacman at us.ibm.com please let me summarize - you're comment numbers
(that probably refer to bugzilla numbers) seem to be differently
numbered that the ones here in the LP ticket (since #20 here is a
attached crash file).

So based on this LP we have some partly unanswered questions in 10, 17
and 19.

In comment #26 the question about a backport is directed to Leonardo,
since we think that the expertise on the P9 instructions is at the IBM
Power team.

Right now we are waiting for a decision to whether doing a backport or not and in case yes, for a backport itself.
Therefore the project entry of this LP is currently set to Incomplete (what is typically done in case we are waiting for a response).

  pseries-eoan VM hosted on a large x86 desktop server and it failed to
  install.

  VM: 2GB memory, 20GB virtio qcow, CPUs: 2

  Installer options:
  Language: English
  Location: United Kingdom
  Detect keyboard layout? No
  Keyboard: English (UK)
  Keyboard Layout: English (UK)
  Hostname: ubuntu
  Full name for the new user: cking
  Username for your account: cking

  Re-enter password to verify: ************
  Partitioning method: Guided - use entire disk
  Select disk to partition: Virtual disk 1 (vda) - 21.5 GB Virtio Block Device
