Looks like ipr module is present in kernel d-i.
bionic$ grep ipr debian.master/d-i/modules/scsi-modules*
debian.master/d-i/modules/scsi-modules:ipr ?
debian.master/d-i/modules/scsi-modules.powerpc:ipr ?
scsi-modules are not in d-i's pkg-lists/netboot .cfg files. So ipr.ko is
not in initrd. May be ipr could be moved to storage-core-modules instead
?

== Comment: #5 - Breno Leitao <brenohl at br.ibm.com> - 2018-02-26 08:48:31 ==
it looks like that the ipr driver is loaded in the installer. I am wondering where the problem is.
== Comment: #6 - Vaishnavi Bhat <vaish123 at in.ibm.com> - 2018-02-26 09:04:33 ==
Since the IPR based drive is not detectable in the general scenario but only with the workaround, it might be an issue with the installer or the driver being obsolete. But otherwise the ipr module is loaded fine during the installation.
Mirroring this bug to the distro for their awareness and being investigated in the IBM side as well.
Thank you.
