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). 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. On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 6:35 PM, Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> wrote:

With that ISO, I'm getting:

Looking at the ISO contents, it seems that the suseboot/ directory is gone and a bunch more stuff is under boot/ now. It looks like yaboot has been replaced by grub2 in this ISO.
It looks like your OFW doesn't want to load a little endian grub2 binary. What a shame.
But I bet you already have a working yaboot setup on that system, right? Could you please copy the "linux" and "initrd" files from the installation media into your yaboot boot partition and add entries for them in yaboot.conf?
Maybe you also need to replace the yaboot binary with one that can load little endian kernels. Fortunately the iso you downloaded earlier did have such a yaboot on it, so you can just grab it from there :).
