PowerNV needs to be added in the platform list. My guess is that this patch should fix the issue.
I will attach the package with the below changes for testing.

The following commit fixes the issue upstream.

    PowerKVM is a distro, not a platform

    PowerKVM is a distro, not a platform. Bare metal systems are not
    PowerKVM (which is IBM distro), but PowerNV.
    This patch fixes naming convention for baremetal system.

    Before: # rtas_errd
    rtas_errd: is not supported on the PowerKVM platform
    After: # rtas_errd
    rtas_errd: is not supported on the PowerNV platform

We have a number of high-priority bugs in the queue for 14.04 currently. It
is unlikely that this cosmetic issue will see action as an SRU in the near
future.

Agreed. Its just cosmetic change. Not an urgent issue.
