---Problem Description---
Network installation of Ubuntu 14.04.2 netboot images is failing
 
Contact Information = pavsubra@xxxxxxxxxx 
 
---uname output---
Linux alp15 3.16.0-38-generic #52~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 8 09:45:24 UTC 2015 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
 
Machine Type = P8 
 
---System Hang---
The system just halts in the installation menu with cpu stalls info on the console. We need to reboot the LPAR from HMC in order to reclaim the system.
 
---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured
 
---Steps to Reproduce---
I have copied the latest Netboot images of 14.04.2 kernel to my DHCP/TFTPBOOT server from the link:
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-ppc64el/current/images/utopic-netboot/

Then did the TFTPBOOT setup on my TFTPBOOT server.

Then on the target Power VM client LPAR I rebooted the machine to SMS menu. 
Then selected the TFTP server IP in SMS menu.
