Hi Steve,
indeed, not all the machines would be concerned, even if the daemon won't be loaded as it already does
this check itself, which is why I was not sure to do the check at install time or later by the daemon itself.
It's better though to target only the specific configuration.
The criteria is the existence of /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,opal/diagnostics directory.

That is an openpower baremetal machine (ibmpower do not have that diagnostic feature accessible from the host as the fsp does the diagnotic work)
So yes the fix is to be done somewhere else then but I'm not sure where. Some udeb, tasksel, the installer?
Let me know and I can do a patch that you could review.
Thanks,

F.
