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.

finding the problem reproducible in opensuse11-beta1 as well.

select packages.
