We see unknown chipset errors in 4.15 GA kernel in Bionic, but the missing firmware issue is now fixed in bionic. We have support for this Nvidia GPU in the bionic (4.18) HWE kernel and so I am marking this as verification-done.

Fix: Add missing firmware files from upstream linux-firmware. Test Case: Confirm that errors in dmesg are gone once new firmware files are present. Regression Potential: New and updated firmware always has potential to cause regressions, however this firmware has been in disco for several months with no reported issues. --- == Comment: #0 - Kalpana Shetty <kalsh...@in.ibm.com> - 2018-09-15 23:55:13 == ---Problem Description--- [Witherspoon-DD2.2][Ubu 18.10] [4.18.0-7-generic ] OS booting thrown with nouveau errors Contact Information = kalsh...@in.ibm.com, preeti.tha...@in.ibm.com ---uname output--- root@ltc-wcwsp3:~# uname -a Linux ltc-wcwsp3 4.18.0-7-generic #8-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 28 18:20:56 UTC 2018 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux Machine Type = Witherspoon DD2.2 LC Steps: 1.

Well, I think those message mean that the nouveau module can't find the firmware file as opposed to it being a FW issue. Might be a packaging issue if this is actually not causing any real issues. Probably best to mirror this to Canonical for their comment. == Comment: #10 - Chandni Verma <chand...@in.ibm.com> - 2018-09-24 03:25:35 == To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1794055/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
