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

[Brian Murray]

Hello Frédéric, or anyone else affected,

Accepted debian-installer into xenial-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-
installer/20101020ubuntu451.15 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  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.
