** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ This prevents the installation process for completing for ppc64el systems due
to / not having sufficient space for installing kernel modules.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ See below "Steps to reproduce"
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal. This changes the recipe used for the initial partitioning of disks
when the multi recipe is picked. Multi is not the default recipe, and this
simply merges the / and /usr partitions so that /usr will be contained on the
same partition as / rather than being on a separate partition (and thus mounted
onto /). Possible issues might be that remaining space for the partition will
be slightly lower than it would be for the two separate partitions.
