Bug Description

The kernel on the precise powerpc ISOs is lackingCONFIG_SCSI_IBMVSCSI, either as a built-in or a module,
thus preventing installation on most IBM system P machines or inside qemu or kvm with -M pseries

(You probably want to also make sure you have CONFIG_SCSI_IPR as well)

Appologies for not specifying the package but I don't know off hand what the name of precise' kernel
package is (yet) and your "choose" option in launchpad keeps saying that there are too many matches
when I try simple things like "linux-image" :-)

This was with a daily ISO built from a few days ago, I will try again with Beta 1 later this week
