Hmmm seems this change has slipped through the net.  I've ported it over
to the utopic kernel.  Will review further before uploading.

  Install disk info: sdb  is the disk where ubuntu to be installed and disk type virtio-scsi of type raw.
   
  Install ISO Information: ubuntu14.10 : utopic-server-ppc64el.iso

  == Comment: #3 - INDIRA P. JOGA <indira.priya@xxxxxxxxxx> - ==
  HI,

  Yes this is reproducible every time.  And here in xml , used entire
  disk which is divided into LUNS ( raw whole disk) and hence did not
  used qemu image.

  Regards,
  Indira

  == Comment: #5 - PRIYA M. A <priyama2@xxxxxxxxxx> -  ==

  
  I am trying to install ubuntu14.10 on guest : pamg1 at host: pamkvm
  Ubuntu installation on virtio-scsi disk type of raw, is unable to find their drivers by default and not listing virtio-scsi drivers to proceed with ubuntu14.10 installation

  I too encounter the same output as mentioned in this defect

  When I tried the same with same xml and ubuntu build 14.04 it worked
  fine. The disks were listed and I was able to proceed with
  installation.
