This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-oem-6.14/6.14.0-1003.3 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux-oem-6.14' to 'verification-done- noble-linux-oem-6.14'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux-oem-6.14' to 'verification-failed- noble-linux-oem-6.14'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

This causes boot failures when trying to boot the kernel on IBM Power 9 systems. In particular becasue IBM Power 9 tries to load i40e at boot time, which fails. The bug was introduced by commit eec37961a56a which landed in v6.13-rc1, which assumed all modules have traceable functions. [ Fix ] Apply the following patch: - https://lore.kernel.org/all/wlscshbqan2svtqkz5xc6v47tzndfnsvge7h4lbfn67zoplekl@elt2oxwhrp6f/T/ which has not landed in linux-next yet. [ Test Plan ] Compile and boot test the kernel on a Power 9 bare metal machine. [ Where problems could occur ] The patch simply removes an if branch which handles (incorrectly) errors during module loading on ppc64 systems. The regression potential therefore is very low. ----- Not able to netboot install a Power9 bare metal. It fails because it is not detecting network, after that the system goes to shell/busybox ``` Begin: Waiting up to 180 secs for any network device to become available ...
