[Debootloaders-yaboot] Bug#641852: creation of yaboot.conf for POWER and VSCSI seems to be resolved

[Michael Felt]

I have been testing the Debian 7.1.0 installers and the configuration file
created by

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend

ii  yaboot         1.3.16-4     powerpc      Yet Another Bootloader

is creating yaboot.conf files correctly for vscsi

I have two working examples:

when the vscsi hdisk0 is coming from a logical partition in the VIOS

lsmap -vadapter vhostX output:
SVSA            Physloc                                      Client
Partition ID

Backing device        lp6vd1
Physloc
Mirrored              N/A

the key lines are:
boot="/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SAIX_VDASD_0002c0ca0000d300000001134deb16ba.5-part1"
device=/vdevice/v-scsi at 30000002/disk at 8100000000000000
partition=2



When the VSCSI target in client is coming from a LUN (in this case an iscsi
disk - hdisk8)
$ lsmap -vadapter vhost4

Notice the .5-part1 in the name when coming from a logical partition (minor
device number)
