Install method: Tried both CDROM (ISO image) and Netboot ( Filename :
ubuntu-installer/ppc64el/powerpc-ieee1275/core.elf)
Install disk info: sdb is the disk where ubuntu to be installed and disk type
virtio-scsi of type raw.
Install ISO Information: ubuntu14.10 : utopic-server-ppc64el.iso
The userspace tool has the following bit modes: uname -a Linux lizg2

HI,
Yes this is reproducible every time. And here in xml , used entire disk
which is divided into LUNS ( raw whole disk) and hence did not used qemu
image.
Regards,
Indira

I too encounter the same output as mentioned in this defect
When I tried the same with same xml and ubuntu build 14.04 it worked
fine. The disks were listed and I was able to proceed with installation.
