IBM Power8 PPC MAAS images booting with no network

[Mike Rushton]

The latest daily hwe-u image for MAAS seems to lack network connectivity. Along with the below error, I cannot ssh or ping the installation. I will follow up with further information once the machine becomes available in the coming weeks.

I was able to also reproduce this. It does not happen after installation, but after rebooting one or two times.

Also, I'm hitting this with a moonshot cartridge, so it may not be arch specific.

My error is pretty similar:

I scrolled back on the console a bit and see this:

After re-deploying the node today, I'm unable to reproduce the bug. @Mike, can you see if you can still reproduce the bug once you have hardware?

[Mike Rushton (leftyfb)]

This was due to file corruption due to multipath disk confusion.
