Jeff, If you mark a system in maas as 'generic/hwe-u', then you will boot installation with the hwe-u kernel, the install will install the hwe-u kernel, and everything is happy.
generally speaking my experience with power is you need hwe-u. hwe-t kernels are not stable on ppc64el. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425699 Title: kernel panic on IBM Power8 PPC MAAS ephemeral image Status in Maas image builders: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Trusty: Confirmed Bug description: The kernel running on the 14.04 ephemeral image for MAAS when commissioning an IBM Power8 PPC server causes a periodic kernel panic.
