Description Gustavo Luiz Duarte 2014-09-25 20:10:05 UTC 
Description of problem:

I tried to install Fedora-Server-DVD-ppc64-21_Alpha_TC3.iso on a P7 ppc64 LPAR. The install completed fine, but when I click the button to finish and reboot the machine Anaconda crashes with the following trace:

I think I've already fixed this in rawhide. I'll try out the patches tomorrow and see if I can just port them over to f21.

Cool! Thanks David. If you have an updates image I can try it and verify if it fixes the issue.

Sure, I think https://dshea.fedorapeople.org/1146708.img should do it.
Comment 10 David Shea 2014-09-26 14:58:09 UTC 
Well I was going to try it myself, but I guess I'd have to figure out where a F21 ppc64 boot image is first, and I am so far failing at that. I'll be out next week, so if the updates.img works and you need it in F21 in a hurry, I just cherry-picked d8578a0a108c432e6b3c6d8e9501f0307fc8d313 from master.

Hi David,

I just tested the updates image you provided and it works fine. Thanks!

Yes, we need it fixed in F21 soon as we are trying to get the Alpha release of Fedora 21 for ppc64.

The latest ISO we have is http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/stage/21_Alpha_TC3/
