[Bug 2101831] [NEW] 25.04 installation does not come up after post-install reboot on s390x

[Frank Heimes]

Public bug reported:

While using the plucky daily image from March 9th and performing a test installation, I've noticed that the installation does not come up after the post-install reboot was triggered ('Reboot' button).
The system goes down, but is then not able to come up again.
In z/VM I get the message:
"HCPVMI232E IPL UNIT ERROR; IRB 00404017 00000010 00200000 00800000"
points to an issue during IPL (boot).

There are some lines in the curtin-install.log that make me wonder if the zipl boot loader was not written:
"
installer/curtin-install.log-Running command ['unshare', '--fork', '--pid', '--mount-proc=/target/proc', '--', 'chroot', '/target', 'update-initramfs', '-c', '-k', '6.12.0-16-generic'] with allowed return codes [0] (capture=False)
installer/curtin-install.log-update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.12.0-16-generic
installer/curtin-install.log:Not invoking zipl: initrd doesn't exist yet
installer/curtin-install.log-Running command ['udevadm', 'settle'] with allowed return codes [0] (capture=False)
"

Below I've attached the entire logs ...

(Btw. the error msg is similar to LP1723541, but this seems to be
unrelated, but will do some more tests.)
