Thanks for the info Alex. This is a POWER7 LPAR running on a PS700 blade. I know this ppc64le is pretty cutting edge, so issues like this are bound to happen. I wonder if that is why I couldn't get Ubuntu 14.04 ppc64le booting either (which also uses grub2 for LE, but yaboot for BE).
It's most likely a part of the puzzle. We also carry a patch in openSUSE that enables you to run an LE kernel on hypervisors that don't implement the H_SET_MODE(ILE) hypercall. Your POWER7 pHyp definitely does not implement it, so you need the patch to run a kernel on it.
I'll have to test out your yaboot idea when I next get some time to play around with this. This was a new LPAR that I carved out, but while trying to get the ppc64le working, I did install Ubuntu 14.04 ppc64 and I think I then scratched that with openSUSE 13.1 (or maybe Factory) ppc64. In any event, I can get a working ppc64 install set up and try bootstrapping from there.
So did that work out for you? :) Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org
