This bug was fixed in the package hw-detect - 1.117ubuntu2.3 --------------- hw-detect (1.117ubuntu2.3) xenial; urgency=medium
* hw-detect.sh: install opal-prd on OpenPOWER machines. LP: #1555904 * Drop hw-detect.pre-pkgsel.d/20install-hwpackages, as it installs universe package, which is probably in itself not useful on Ubuntu.

However the new code path is non-fatal, and all errors are ignored, thus all installation should still proceed past this point. For systems without relevant diagnostics exposed, this code path is a no- op. [Other Info] * Original bug report Just tried an install with current 16.04 network media, using standard server package selections, and it looks like opal-prd isn't installed by default: [jk@fstn ~]$ dpkg -l opal-prd dpkg-query: no packages found matching opal-prd This is required for RAS-type functions on OpenPOWER machines; and has a similar role to something like acpid, on x86. I'm not sure whether filing this against the skiboot package is best, or whether this should be moved to something installer-related. Happy to shift if necessary.
