James, I suspect this might be failing to initialize partedPartition because of the following code in class PartitionDevice: def _getPartedPartition(self): if self.disk and not self._partedPartition: pdisk = self.disk.partedDisk self._partedPartition = pdisk.getPartitionByPath(self.path) return self._partedPartition The call to getPartitionByPath() will only succeed if the prep partition has a device node. I don't know if it does on ppc systems. Can you verify if the prep boot partition has a device node or not on ppc systems?

The getFalg call is no longer in platform.py. Does this issue still reproduce?
I'm not seeing this, but I am seeing bug#491865 using the same test on the same system.
491865 is resolved now, can this also be resolved? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Needs retesting on a IBM Power system. James?
Tested this yesterday, I am no longer seeing this particular issue on IBM Power5 ppc64 systems.
