Hi @mathieu-tl This patch has been verified to resolve this problem (thanks Kevin), and another one which is being mirrored. The problem is partman-prep is currently not downloaded on PowerNV, but we need prep_sync_flag to set the PReP flag on the correct partition, which lines it up for grub-installer.
