1)
Even though I was able to boot up with kernels v3.19 or v4.1 smoothly. On closer inspection of Dmesg logs. There is an I/O error during bootup for 3.19 and 4.1 which I don't see for v3.16 kernel.  This error is similar to the one we get in 15.04 installation to RAID.

Dmesg logs are attached

This gives me the basis for going ahead with bisection.

2) Further I had to forgo and re-build my environment since the build
seems to have gone into a bad state when was moving around some files
after upgrading kernel to v4.1.

BUT now, I am NO longer able to generate the custom  .deb kernel
packages for PPC64LE arch.

Instead

make -j `getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` deb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-custom

now generates POWERPC arch images instead of PPC64LE.

For example:
linux-headers-3.18.0-custom_3.18.0-custom-2_powerpc.deb

Am I missing something ? I was successfully able to generate kernel deb
packages yesterday for PPC64LE. I want to try and replicate that
environment so that I can go ahead with bisection

Title:
  Ubuntu 15.04 Install Error with Avago Controller

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello Canonical Team

  We are running to an issue installing ubuntu PPC64LE 15.04 full blown
  image on our servers  (with RAID controller).  Installation hangs
  around 70% of progress.

  An important part of our configuration is Avago RAID controller:
  9361-8i Firmware version we used is 4.300.00-4429, and the package is
  24.10.0-0002.

  IMPORTANT: It has to be noted that with same hardware configuration
  14.10 full blown image installs fine.

  Dmesg logs are attached:

  Looking at dmesg logs point out that:
  LSI (avago) driver loads fine
  During further interaction with raid volume during the installation process, firmware errors are seen 
  [  196.991417] megasas: FW status 0x3

  [  196.999376] megasas: FW status 0x3

  [  197.007376] megasas: FW status 0x3
  Further down the  process I/O errors are thrown
  [  217.438664] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 22052864

  [  217.438671] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 22052865

  [  217.438678] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 22052866

  [  217.438686] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 22052867

  Full dmesg log is attached. Snippet is pasted below highlighting:

  It can be noted that there’s a Mellanox Connectx 3 pro card with some test Firmware on our setup. 
  We can Ignore any diagnostic messages from that card in dmesg logs for the purpose of this bug. 

  Thanks
  Adi Gangidi
