Hi,

testing Debian/Ubuntu installation with OpenQA on a P10 LPAR with a virtual optical device, the LPAR boots the iso till grub menu.
First entry is selected and Enter gets pressed.
The kernel starts and calls ibm,client-architecture-support .
My understanding is that either it returns or reboots with the new feature set
and in which case, the grub menu shouldn't pop out again and the last booted kernel should be used with the same parameters.
But it is not the case at the moment, the iso grub menu pops out again.

This does not happen all the time. Sometimes the kernel does not reboot and (maybe the required settings are ok but in this case, I don't know how it got set).

Here is a video showing this behavior on Debian (kernel 5.10.0-6, grub 2.04, http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/ppc64el/daily/netboot/mini.iso).
Same on Ubuntu 20.04 daily (kernel 5.4.0-72.80, grub 2.04, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/focal/daily-live/current/focal-live-server-ppc64el.iso)
Regards,

F.

Hi Fr?deric,

we will need to push the required patches for CAS reboot into UBUNTU/DEBIAN.

Thanks
