Just attempted with bionic 20101020ubuntu525 netboot installer. However, this build fails to install on my machine:
│ │ Debootstrap warning │ │ │ │ Warning: Failure trying to run: chroot /target dpkg-deb -f │ │ │ │ /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.19.0.4ubuntu1_ppc64el.deb Version │ │ syslog tells me: Dec 11 08:58:46 debootstrap: chroot: can't execute 'dpkg-deb': No such file or directory I can't run anything under /target: ~ # chroot /target /bin/bash chroot: can't execute '/bin/bash': No such file or directory ~ # ls -l /target/bin/bash -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1544376 May 17 2017 /target/bin/bash Looks like that build has an invalid dynamic linker path, or the installer hasn't provided the requested linker yet: bash: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=8b1909e1534e08ac77ea8f8f1c8a120c6d02d631, stripped ~ # ls -al /target/lib64/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 11 20:21 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 May 23 2017 .. (I do see a suitable linker under /target/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ though) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1555904 Title: opal-prd not installed by default on ppc64el systems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1555904/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
