Bug Description
19:06 < stgraber> apw: hey, so looks like powerpc (not 64el) isn't booting with current 4.4 from xenial
19:06 < stgraber> apw: smoser may have some more details for you, all I know is that I dist-upgraded my ppc VM and it stopped booting, smoser had to reboot me into 3.19 manually
19:08 < apw> stgraber, which versoin number is that ?
19:08 < stgraber> ii linux-image-
19:08 < apw> stgraber, and do you have one which did boot before that, in 4.4 ?
19:08 < smoser> 3.19 booted
19:08 < apw> stgraber, i think we need a bug and i'll get jsalisbury to get this bisected
19:08 < apw> i just realised we don't run adt on power, sigh
19:08 < stgraber> apw: nope, I upgraded from trusty to xenial so it's the first 4.4 I try
19:09 < smoser> qemu cmdline that results in "cant find root" looks like this
19:09 < smoser> qemu-system-ppc64 -name rockne-01 -echr 0x05 -enable-kvm -M pseries -cpu host -smp cores=2,threads=1 -m 8G -net nic,macaddr=
19:09 < jsalisbury> apw, I'll watch for the bug to come in
19:09 < smoser> where disk1.img has the root filesystem on it.
19:09 < stgraber> apw: the issue is storage related, smoser got dropped into a shell with no block listed in /proc/partitions
19:09 < smoser> only ram disks.
