upgrading firmware might help but a workaround was found, the bug was resolved as WONTFIX and likely powerKVM has no future. Removing from our backlog

https://infra.nue.suse.com/SelfService/Display.html?id=180841 was resolved without any proper comment by gschlotter. What I remember is that nicksinger asked me to hold my feet still while he tries to resolve the situation :)
@nicksinger I would appreciate your feedback on the current situation.

I tried to find my comment regarding my efforts upgrading QA-Power8-5 - couldn't find it. Basically I fail to upload the firmware onto the machine because the required toolchain is so old that I can't build a functional pflash for the BMC of these machines (glibc was too old on these BMCs). Somebody on the ML offered me a binary which is supposed to work but I really don't want to execute a random binary sent from somebody on a mailinglist which is accessing the BMC of our machines. So I'm currently stuck and out of ideas how to continue with these habanero machines.

As discussed with nsinger we are not aware of further problems after we fixed the boot problems software side in #68053 so we can also close this ticket as rejected as we did not conduct the firmware upgrades.
