[Bug 1435699] Re: not able boot with Ubuntu 14.04.1 - partition keeps on rebooting

 

It looks like we're already into the kernel by the time it reboots,
reassigning to linux.

It would be quite helpful to see a boot attempt with "quiet" and
"splash" stripped off the kernel commandline (edit it in grub), so we
can see exactly how far it gets.

** Package changed: grub2 (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

  Ubuntu 14.04.1 is running as native partition on PowerVM. So there is no guest involved. On Alpine, only PowerVM is supported.

  Hi,

  I have recreated the issue on the partition now. Below is the snapshot
  from vterm during partition reboots:

  Ubuntu 15.04 works fine with Alpine on PowerVM as a native partition. The above problem is occurring only with Ubuntu 14.04 which is officially supported on Alpine. Here is the working Ubuntu 15.04 version working on another system.
