Description
Motivation¶
Following #167248 we should enable also Agama for virtualization PowerVM in openQA in SLES 16 job group
At the moment we have achieved to boot using x86_64 with emulation for power 9: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/15875199 which is very slow and not fully supported.
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: Agama can boot using powerVM in OSD.
Additional information¶
we should use the newer hmc console not spvm.

I extracted the linux/initrd file from agama iso.

And tried a simple test pxe/netboot->load linux/initrd file-> boot, seems it is bootable:

Thank you @rfan1 it helps me to boot Agama.
We detected various errors related to different topics:
agama.install_urlthis boot parameter comes in the default booting code so I tried to include as part of the booting process. Unfortunately this parameter seems to break the current installation repositories so I skip this parameter for now.- Swap disk error. I detected an error related with the disk that doesn't allow Agama to install the system. Usually the disk is attached at fixed size (Not configurable) and this disk is small but not the host RAM that is quite high. Agama performs a check in the RAM size to assign the Swap partition of the disk, in our case the Swap is around 80GB and the disk is only 20GB so we included a workaround to set this partition to 2GB. The Agama team will solve this issue soon, more information about that here: https://github.com/agama-project/agama/issues/1159 and here https://github.com/agama-project/agama/pull/1804
