Hi @mathieu-tl

This patch has been verified to resolve this problem (thanks Kevin), and another one which is being mirrored.

The problem is partman-prep is currently not downloaded on PowerNV, but we need prep_sync_flag to set the PReP flag on the correct partition, which lines it up for grub-installer.

Details:

~ # tail /proc/cpuinfo
...
platform : PowerNV
model : 8286-42A
machine : PowerNV 8286-42A
firmware : OPAL v3

Without patch:
---

~ # archdetect
ppc64el/unknown

~ # grep partman-prep /var/log/syslog
~ #

With patch:
---

~ # archdetect
ppc64el/chrp_ibm

~ # grep partman-prep /var/log/syslog
