2022-02-16 11:29:23 Frank Heimes description == Comment: #0 - Frederic Bonnard <FREDERIC@fr.ibm.com> - 2021-04-26 02:32:28 == 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. == Comment: #1 - Frederic Bonnard <FREDERIC@fr.ibm.com> - 2021-04-26 02:33:14 == == Comment: #2 - Frederic Bonnard <FREDERIC@fr.ibm.com> - 2021-04-26 02:33:48 == == Comment: #3 - Diego Pereira Domingos <diegodo@br.ibm.com> - 2021-04-29 10:52:18 == Hi Fr?deric, we will need to push the required patches for CAS reboot into UBUNTU/DEBIAN. == Comment: #8 - Diego Pereira Domingos <diegodo@br.ibm.com> - 2021-08-09 08:54:07 == == Comment: #10 - Diego Pereira Domingos <diegodo@br.ibm.com> - 2021-08-10 08:13:10 == Hello Canonical, we need this patch in grub so it can support CAS reboot for ppc64le Thanks Feature Freeze Exception (FFe): Due to the fact that the work and backlog on grub2 in jammy is pretty big and the complexity high, I discussed with juliank (Foundations) the other day, and the outcome was to transfer this ticket into a FFe, just to be prepared. The patch that is in discussion here is especially for Power 10, which is planned to be supported by Ubuntu Server 22.04 (jammy) (and is customer driven). Since it's uncertain if a re-worked patch can be picked-up in time for the jammy Feature Freeze on Feb. the 24th, I want to raise the attention of the Ubuntu Release Team, and kindly ask for acknowledge. Required tests on this will be done with the help of the customer/partner IBM. _________________________ == Comment: #0 - Frederic Bonnard <FREDERIC@fr.ibm.com> - 2021-04-26 02:32:28 == Hi, testing Debian/Ubuntu installation with OpenQA on a P10 LPAR with a virtual optical device, the LPAR boots the iso till grub menu.
