[Bug 1702792] Re: Installation on ppc64le stuck when trying to setup LVM

[Steve Langasek]

This is certainly a bug, but it is user error to configure an LVM volume
as the prep partition; the prep partition must be a disk partition
visible from firmware.

I believe this bug does not occur when using guided partitioning.

Title:
  Installation on ppc64le stuck when trying to setup LVM

Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project:
  New
Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I’am using Ubuntu 16.04 Netboot installer.

  During the disk partitioning:

  I have two disks, create an empty partition table on both and set both
  to be used entirely as physical volume for LVM.

  Select "Configure the Logical Volume Manager".
  Create a volume group using the two disks.
  Create two logical volumes: one 8MB and the other using the rest of the space.
  Finish configuring LVM.

  Set the first logical volume "Use as" to "Use the partition as a
  PowerPC PReP boot partition".

  This is followed by an error screen (attached).

  After this I get stuck in the partitioning and can no longer continue
  the installation or change the partitioning.
