Hi Canonical,
Per the attached syslog, the installation fails because the the scsi device 
representing the virtual dvd does not get mapped.  The setup on the PowerVM 
side of things looks correct.  Note that this is a regression from 16.04.

Hi Pooja,
Just to say we tried the latest daily build, please retest using a newer iso 
from:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/

The image I downloaded today, Sept 23 around 1pm eastern daylight
(GMT-4) has a 4.8.0-14 kernel.  Please attach a syslog to this bug from
the daily build that you test.

Thanks, Gary
