Description František Zatloukal 2024-05-30 12:02:03 UTC
Description of problem:
Sometimes during the f40 release cycle, the ppc64le Cloud images ceased to boot in VMs. I initially found out through testcloud, but the same issue happens on plain libvirt and plain qemu on Mac OS X host.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kiwi that was used to build Fedora 40 GA
libvirt-10.1.0-1.fc40.x86_64
qemu-system-ppc-core-8.2.2-1.fc40.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. testcloud create fedora:40 --arch ppc64le --timeout 3600
2. Or click through virt-manager wizard, add a new ppc64le vm, add Cloud GA image

Actual results:
Serial output:

Trying to load:  from: /pci@800000020000000/scsi@3 ... 
E3404: Not a bootable device!

E3407: Load failed

Expected results:
System booted up.

Additional info:
Similar but different regression occurred on s390x where it fails at a later stage on dracut timing out, I'll link the issue once that's created. Rawhide is affected too, f39 works fine. 

Also, I am not sure that kiwi is the culprit, but we have to start somewhere.
