guided partitioning creates an unbootable system on baremetal ppc64el

[Frédéric Bonnard]

Hi,
on ppc64el, using autopartitioning with LVM, the system will install but after rebooting petitboot won't find the /boot content that is on LVM, because petitboot doesn't handle LVM yet.
So the system will not be bootable.
The changes that cause this are in the following changelog :
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto/134ubuntu5

especially all the "+ $lvmignore{ }" for ppc64el.
Thanks for helping,

F.

I am sad =(

When will petiboot support LVM?
