Proposed Solution

Error Handling Improvements:

Modify plugininstall.py to catch bootloader installation errors more
gracefully.

Add retries for yaboot installation before failing.

Example Pseudocode Fix:
ret = subprocess.call(["yaboot-installer", ...])
if ret != 0:
    log("Yaboot installer failed, retrying...")
    ret = subprocess.call(["yaboot-installer", ...])
    if ret != 0:
        raise InstallStepError("YabootInstaller failed after retry")


Partition Detection Check:

Ensure new world boot partition (sda1) is properly flagged and
accessible before calling the installer.

Add a pre-check to validate partition table integrity.

Logging & Debugging:

Increase verbosity of logs to identify whether the crash is due to
partition mismatch or binary error.

Collect more data during PowerPC installations for further debugging.
