== Comment: #0 - WEN BIN PAN <pa...@cn.ibm.com> - 2015-08-14 02:40:55 ==
I was trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.3 on kalelp3, and using multipath disk
mpath0 as the installation device. The installation was successful. But after
the installation when the machine reboots itself, it shows:
--------------------------
No OS image was detected by firmware.
At least one disk in the bootlist was not found yet.
Firmware is now retrying the entries in the bootlist.
Press ctrl-C to stop retrying.
--------------------------
I entered SMS and noticed that mpath0 is in the device list as item 7
and 9, but it is not set as the 1st boot device. Actually, no device is
set as the 1st boot device after the installation, so FW cannot find a
bootable device.

Manually booting from item 7 shows that this is the multipath disk we
installed Ubuntu on. I think this device (or both 7 and 9), should be
set as the 1st boot device.
