I added a reference to this bug to the ISO tracker, however I currently can't reproduce it. Booting the installer ISO on a POWER8 machine with:
qemu-img create -f raw disk2.img 8G kvm -m 1024 -boot d -cdrom eoan-server-ppc64el.iso -drive file=disk.img,if=virtio
or with:
kvm -m 1024 -boot d -cdrom eoan-server-ppc64el.iso -drive file=disk.img
just works. The boot with if=virtio briefly shows this kernel message before the d-i actually starts:
vio vio: uevent: failed to send synthetic uevent
but after a short while I get to the installer, and I'm able to install. This is tested with:
$ bsdtar -x -f eoan-server-ppc64el.iso -O .disk/info Ubuntu-Server 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" - Beta ppc64el (20190926)
but 20190926.1 does not seem to behave differently. I'm very willing to expand the tests cases to catch this issue, however I first need to be able to reproduce it. Do you already have a reproducer?
