[Bug 1715101] [NEW] Xenial : installer fails on POWER9

[Frédéric Bonnard]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

could you please update the installer to use linux-hwe version >=
4.10.0-29 for POWER9 on Xenial.

At the moment the kernel/vmlinux in http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial-proposed/main/installer-ppc64el/current/images/hwe-netboot/ubuntu-installer/ppc64el/ is based on
linux 4.10.0-28 which doesn't include this ERAT related patch (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1700521 and other P9 fixes also) which cause the installer to fail on POWER9.

A move to hwe kernels with version greater than 4.10.0-29 should work.
Thanks a lot.

F.
