https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1213879 Bug ID: 1213879 Summary: Could not allocate memory for RTAS Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.5 Hardware: PowerPC OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: dmitriy.markov@mezame.ru QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0 Build Identifier: Good afternoon. While booting from iso for further installation of the system, I encountered the error "Could not allocate memory for RTAS". The problem is only present in the openSUSE Leap 15.5 ppc64le distribution. OpenSUSE Leap 15.4 ppc64le does not have this problem. Of course, on the Internet there was a solution from the equipment manufacturer. (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/could-not-allocate-memory-rtas-grub-or-yab...) But it does not help and the error remains. My opinion is that this is a bug in the distribution, if it is not, please let me know about it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Booting LPAR from CD/DVD openSUSE-Leap-15.5-DVD-ppc64le-Media.iso 2.In the bootloader, select "install operating system" 3.We get an error Actual Results: We get an error Welcome to GRUB! search prep from disk `ieee1275//vdevice/v-s csi@3000000b/disk@8100000000000000' error: ../../grub-core/commands/prep_loadenv.c:179:no prep partition. earlycfg: root=memdisk prefix=(memdisk)/ bdev=ieee1275//vdevice/v-scsi@3000000b/disk@8100000000000000 bpart=,1 bpath=/boot/ppc64le/grub2-ieee1275 Reading vars from (ieee1275//vdevice/v-scsi@3000000b/disk@8100000000000000) error: ../../grub-core/commands/prep_loadenv.c:179:no prep partition.
