<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Hello Jakub</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Here is the response to your questions.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Q: Do you observe same behavior of console with f21/f22?</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Install gets stuck at the same place: (Attached SCSI) in f21/f22 but</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">rescue shell does NOT freeze in f21/f22.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Q: What do you use to obtain console(ipmi sol, physical connection,Š)?</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">‹Physical connection: Serial USB cable attached to debug port on server.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Q: What are you using as installation source(DVD, PXE, USB, remote</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">repo,....) and what image are you using(netinst/dvd)?</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">‹ Installation source is a Fedora 23 DVD content put on a USB stick.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Q: Are disks already partitioned or are empty?</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">‹ Disks where previously partitioned (I had powerkvm installed on there)</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">but this error occurs before I can get to the partition screen.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Q: Have you been successful with booting/installing any other linux</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">distribution(either LE/BE)?</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">‹ Yes Ubuntu 14.04 / 14.10 (PPC64LE) installed smoothly. With Ubuntu 15.04</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">install I ran into this install error on partitioning Avago raid:</div>

<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">However we are working around that bug by setting max_sectors of Megaraid</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">module manually and thus able to finish the install.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">We are also able to install powerKVM (IBM¹s PPC64LE KVM)</div>
