== Comment: #5 - Breno Leitao <email address hidden> - 2018-02-26 08:48:31 ==
it looks like that the ipr driver is loaded in the installer. I am wondering where the problem is.
== Comment: #6 - Vaishnavi Bhat <email address hidden> - 2018-02-26 09:04:33 ==
Since the IPR based drive is not detectable in the general scenario but only with the workaround, it might be an issue with the installer or the driver being obsolete. But otherwise the ipr module is loaded fine during the installation.
Mirroring this bug to the distro for their awareness and being investigated in the IBM side as well.
Thank you.

According to the bug report this is currently mirrored "for awareness", so unassigning from Foundations for now.
