Hi all!

Currently we are encountering some problems with a fresh install on IBM OpenPower 720. After the stage 1 installer is finished the system is rebooting and complaining about a missing yaboot.conf. Thus the kernel location is not loaded and the machine refuses to boot. There is a LVM set up on that machine, could this be a problem?!

Output of OF:
####
Elapsed time since release of system processors: 141 mins 59 secs

/pci at 800000020000002/pci at 2/pci1069,b166 at 1/scsi at ff/sd at 0,0:-1,/etc/yaboot.conf: Um
Can't open config file
Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.13
Enter "help" to get some basic usage information
boot:
Please wait, loading kernel...
can't get <device_type> for device:
:-1,/vmlinux: Unable to open file, Invalid device
###

Greetings:

Christian
