Summary: RELNOTES - Summarize the release note suggestion/content
           Product: Fedora Documentation
           Version: devel
          Platform: ppc64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: normal
         Component: release-notes
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The release notes stats that IBM pSeries machines, which has the POWER5
processors, are supported - great.

pSeries machines can be used in three ways:
1) Stand alone as a SMP machine.
2) Using Logical Partitions with physical resources like real SCSI disks and
Ethernet.
3) Using Logical Partitions with virtual resources like using ibmvscsi and
ibmveth drivers.

It is not clear in the release notes which modes are supported.

I have just tried virtual resources - failed with unable to read package
metadata, failure with a reference to repodata/comps.xml from anaconda Errno 256

I have just tried with physical resources - hangs loading a DAC960 driver, which
is a RAID SCSI card.

If you clarify which modes and hardware Fedora5 has been tested on, we might
avoid many frustrations in Fedora users.

The release notes are wrong.

I've used genesis, lpar (full system partition), and lpar with vscsi. As well as
js20, js21.

For the DAC960 bug, boot with linux nostorage, select your scsi driver and it
should proceed - I'm trying to trace this issue (I'll add the bug number). 
Please  file bugs against anaconda on specific hardware configuration failures -
such as ibmvscsi and we'll try and reproduce.  The comment was originally
referring to rs6000 32bit, which is now supported also.

Paul N, I don't know anyone on the docs team who is using this hardware, so if
you'd like to correspond with Luya to fix any problems, that would be appreciated.

Was this ever resolved?

Blocing master tracker so this doesn't get forgotten.

I've added Paul N. and Jeremy to the CC list for this one since they're listed
as the dev POCs for the Installer release notes beat.  I don't know how
applicable this note is anymore, and since I don't think any of our Docs editors
have access to or experience with this hardware, they're probably best to
comment or close.

Or if you are too lazy to update the wiki, I will update the wiki once both
Jeremy and Paul N give more details. I confirm I never touched a IBM pSeries in
my lifetime.

I don't see that this was updated before test4.  There is a little time left to
get this in before we go to final.  (Refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Schedule for details on deadlines.) 
The wiki beats are now editable by anyone in the EditGroup on the wiki, so if
anyone subscribed to this bug wants to see this changed, step up and do it. 
Don't worry about being grammatically perfect, as the Docs team will take care
of fixing your edits for you.  The appropriate page is:

Anyone with IBM pSeries confirm their system is working? This old bug should be
closed.
