== Comment: #5 - Breno Leitao <bren...@br.ibm.com> - 2018-02-26 08:48:31 ==
it looks like that the ipr driver is loaded in the installer. I am wondering
where the problem is.
== Comment: #6 - Vaishnavi Bhat <vaish...@in.ibm.com> - 2018-02-26 09:04:33 ==
Since the IPR based drive is not detectable in the general scenario but only
with the workaround, it might be an issue with the installer or the driver
being obsolete. But otherwise the ipr module is loaded fine during the
installation.
Mirroring this bug to the distro for their awareness and being investigated
in the IBM side as well.
Thank you.
