According to the latest update in the bug report this issue should
be fixed in more recent versions of the d-i. Didn't test this with

Hello,
i had several issues in the past with Debian on IBM Power, please see
the list archives if you have an archeological interest ;-) Some of
those issues were firmware/microcode related, some were related to VIOS

i'd probably start with the guided partitioning and modify from
there to your own needs. A bootable setup looks like thi

Hello,
just a follow up on how the issue of DLPAR memory removal not
working was resolved: Disabling the CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
kernel config option. Apparently this option is not supported
right now in conjunction with memory DLPAR. Credits for solving
this go to the folks over at IBMs develope

The only catch could be that your device names ("sda" and "sdb") match
the regex in the blacklist section of /etc/multipath.conf.

today i tried to move a LPAR w/ Debian Lenny from a p570 (Power5+) to

Hello all,
i've got Debian (testing) running on a DLPAR on a pSeries 9117-570.
The system gets several NICs from two VIO servers, which in turn are
connected to different switches for redundancy. Two NICs within each
subnet are paired via bonding devices.
Now the problem:
