Github OSInside kiwi issues 2738 0 None open Fedora live images for ppc64le fail due to requiring non-existent `biosdisk` grub2 module 2025-02-24 20:30:13 UTC

Description Neal Gompa 2025-02-24 20:07:06 UTC
Fedora KDE and Workstation ppc64le image builds are failing because grub2-mkimage is requesting the "biosdisk" module (which is x86 only).

The kiwi code needs to be adjusted to not request this module for PowerPC architectures.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to build Fedora KDE or Workstation images for ppc64le
Actual Results:  
Fails due to trying to incorporate nonexistent biosdisk module

Expected Results:  
Succeeds without requesting biosdisk module

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 42-beta by Fedora user ngompa using the blocker tracking app because:

 This blocks production of ppc64le live images with kiwi (which includes KDE and Workstation images).
