[Bug 1334649] Re: ppc64el/cdrom: ieee1275/cdrom devalias doesn't work on all machines

[Paulo F. Smorigo]

I tested the daily 20140722.3 and it works. I managed to boot and
install Ubuntu without dropping into GRUB shell.

We can close this ticket.

We still have the "cas reboot" bug to solve...

Title:
  ppc64el/cdrom: ieee1275/cdrom devalias doesn't work on all machines

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “debian-installer” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Some systems refuse to boot our ppc64el CD images, dropping to a GRUB
  prompt.  This is because I set the GRUB prefix in d-i to
  (ieee1275/cdrom)/boot/grub to work around a different failure, but not
  all systems have the ieee1275/cdrom devalias.  Setting ()/boot/grub
  instead works on the system where I originally had this problem, and
  should fix the other hardware in question too.
