Hardware Environment Machine type (p650, x235, SF2, etc.): p550lpar1 Cpu type (Power4, Power5, IA-64, etc.): Power5 Describe any special hardware you think might be relevant to this problem: Is this reproducible? yes If so, how long does it (did it) take to reproduce it? 1/2hr Describe the steps: 1)Boot any lpar(power5) with inst64 image. 2)Proceed the installation. Error occurs when it is finishing the basic installation. Additional information: I tried this in p550lpar1,p550lpar3,p55alp1. All these are of type power5. =Comment: #4================================================= Indhu Durai <IndhuDurai@in.ibm.com> - 2008-04-24 10:14 EDT finding the problem reproducible in opensuse11-beta1 as well. I did a DVD installation. I gave default partitioning method.
