** Description changed:

- Feature Freeze Exception (FFe):
- 
  Due to the fact that the work and backlog on grub2 in jammy is pretty
  big and the complexity high, I discussed with juliank (Foundations) the
  other day, and the outcome was to transfer this ticket into a FFe, just
  to be prepared.
  
  The patch that is in discussion here is especially for Power 10, which is 
planned to be supported by Ubuntu Server 22.04 (jammy) (and is customer driven).
  Since it's uncertain if a re-worked patch can be picked-up in time for the 
jammy Feature Freeze on Feb. the 24th, I want to raise the attention of the 
Ubuntu Release Team,
  and kindly ask for acknowledge.
  
  Required tests on this will be done with the help of the customer/partner IBM.

  Hi,
  
  testing Debian/Ubuntu installation with OpenQA on a P10 LPAR with a virtual 
optical device, the LPAR boots the iso till grub menu.
  First entry is selected and Enter gets pressed.
  The kernel starts and calls ibm,client-architecture-support .
  My understanding is that either it returns or reboots with the new feature set
  and in which case, the grub menu shouldn't pop out again and the last booted 
kernel should be used with the same parameters.
  But it is not the case at the moment, the iso grub menu pops out again.
  
  This does not happen all the time. Sometimes the kernel does not reboot
  and  (maybe the required settings are ok but in this case, I don't know
  how it got set).
  
  Here is a video showing this behavior on Debian (kernel 5.10.0-6, grub 2.04, 
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/ppc64el/daily/netboot/mini.iso).
  Same on Ubuntu 20.04 daily (kernel 5.4.0-72.80, grub 2.04, 
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/focal/daily-live/current/focal-live-server-ppc64el.iso)
  Regards,
  
  F.
