http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=933651 --- Comment #5 from Michel Normand --- (In reply to Dinar Valeev from comment #4)

The issue here is: grub tries ofpathname --version which returns 1 if we on Bare Metal

ofpathname: is not supported on the PowerKVM Host platform

We should call grub2 with --no-nvram option. But that would require to implement PowerNV in YaST.

Right now, PowerNV is treated as CHRP platform.

I did a trial removing the exit 1 in line 1476 of ofpathname (as suggested by Dinar) and manually tried the grub2-install. === sh-4.3# /usr/sbin/ofpathname --version ofpathname: is not supported on the PowerKVM Host platform ofpathname: Version 0.5 Written by: Nathan Fontenot sh-4.3# /usr/sbin/grub2-install --target=powerpc-ieee1275 --force --skip-fs-probe "/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1IBM_IPR-0_6A9E2B0000000060-part1" Installing for powerpc-ieee1275 platform. Installation finished. No error reported. === But after reboot, petitboot did not presented the installed OS of /dev/sda. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=933651 --- Comment #9 from Dinar Valeev --- the actual fix would be to run grub2-intall with --no-nvram option... Since we fake PowerNV as CHRP platform, it would be tricky to make this option valid only for PowerNV -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=933651 --- Comment #13 from Michel Normand --- Summary: 1-The initial error about "ofpathname not found" is solved by the patch submitted by Dinar at https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:k0da:branches:openSUSE:Fac... this bug is specifically tracking this problem. 2-The other error about petitboot not displaying installed OS previously reported by comment #7 and next ones is related to a too old firmware (FW) of this P8 machine (Petitboot 20141013) at least would need FW with http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/geoff/petitboot.git/commit/?id=b... I verified that upgrading FW: opal, skiboot, skiroot with development level (Petitboot dev.20150506) is sufficient to solve this This should not be tracked by this bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
