| 01:10.40 | gomersion | I have just completed a successful install of lenny on an IBM power5 (p570) lpar (dual VIO) with LVM root on multipath. I encountered a couple of issues which I was able to resolve by trial and error. I am not sure if the developers are aware of these or not. 1. guided LVM partitioning is unable to boot after the install because /etc/yaboot.conf is not accessible. I created /boot/etc and moved /etc/yaboot.conf to /boot/et |
| 01:12.24 | gomersion | Second issue was to do with multipath and initramfs. I had to edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2 and add "multipath" to the PREREQS. |
| 01:14.30 | gomersion | Third issue was that d-i did not add the appropriate filter to /etc/lvm/lvm.conf. This can be found here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/browse/4.6/DM_Multipath/multipath_logical_volumes.html |
| 01:14.44 | gomersion | After making these changes... it all works quite nicely ;) |
| 01:15.50 | gomersion | Hope the feedback is of use... |
| 04:19.14 | pahartik | gomersion: Very good... Make sure you submit "installation-report" to developers |

| 21:15.03 | sobersabre | hi. |
| 21:15.17 | sobersabre | I wonder a bit about the ppc vs. ppc64 system. |
| 21:15.29 | sobersabre | I have blades, they currently run sles9, ppc64 kernel. |
| 21:15.58 | sobersabre | I wonder if lenny is able to run on these blades.... |
| 21:16.11 | sobersabre | the debian ppc64 list is quite dead. |
| 21:16.40 | sobersabre | the probs I've heard of are tg3 drivers missing in the default initrd.gz file. |
| 21:16.46 | sobersabre | is it still the same ? |
| 21:17.12 | simonrvn | better to ask #debian-boot |
| 21:17.18 | simonrvn | on oftc |
| 21:18.38 | sobersabre | hm. ok. I will reboot then into lenny first... just finished installing the upgrade from etch. |
| 21:18.43 | sobersabre | thanks, simonrvn |
| 21:18.57 | sobersabre | I remember you were usually simply simon.. right ? |
| 21:20.00 | simonrvn | no, always had this nick :). |
| 21:20.21 | sobersabre | right... |
| 21:21.19 | sobersabre | I'm getting too ... off IRC. which is a good sign of rehabillitation. |
| 21:21.30 | sobersabre | well, bye. |
