I now have a working syslinux and kernel in git.centos.org under c7-i686

I am building those every time they update for i686 as well as x86_64

I have all the RPMs currently built, including the java-1.6.0-openjdk
built that was an issue .. I'll post the RPM list and what is missing
(compared to x86_64) and we can try to figure out what we need to make
build (We may need to change some other things that they made
exclusivearch x86_64, like they did syslinux)

Then we can get an i686 test spin out.

Here is the kernel and syslinux links for i686
