Hi all,
I've been trying to create installation media (usb) for CentOS 7 at arm64 based hw. I've picked up files from here http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/os/aarch64/ which seems to be an installation related stuff, isn't it?
So I've partitioned usb manually copy files on it and so on. System start successful, but later it falls into dracut shell with following message
[ 16.061297] localhost systemd[1]: Started Show Plymouth Boot Screen. [ 16.062287] localhost systemd[1]: Started Dispatch Password Requests to Console Directory Watch. [ 16.063309] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Paths. [ 16.064299] localhost systemd[1]: Reached target Paths.

[ 202.948401] localhost dracut-initqueue[916]: Warning: /dev/root does not exist
For some reason it fail to find /dev/root ... I didn't see any other error messages at rdsosreport log. Could anyone advise me how to fix that or point to where to read ?
WBR, Vadim

Images for arm64: http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/isos/aarch64/
You can also dd the boot.iso from here to a usb stick and do an install from anaconda: http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/os/aarch64/images/
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Are you trying to create your own boot.iso using lorax, or are you using the one on buildlogs? The one on buildlogs is designed to do the installation directly from http://buildlogs.centos.org without prompting, so you'll need network access run the installer, or you'll have to edit the boot option and change inst.repo to point to your local copy.
Oh, thanks, I see.. I will need my kernel rpm be picked up during installation and that's why I tried to install from local media. Are there any option to provide custom kernel rpm durnig installation? By addind some external repository ?

... so I need to use local repository while installing by network. Thanks a lot guys.

Part of this was a kernel issue with usb drivers and detection.
Following the source release of RHELSA, I've rolled back the kernel from my 4.1rc kernel to the 3.19 based kernel they used. This resolves a few 'known issues' including this one.
I'm hoping to push the new tree live on Monday as beta2.
I do plan to continue offering a 4.x based kernel for AArch64, but it will be an additional package, somewhat like the centosplus kernel for x86_64.

Hi Jim,
This sounds like a very reasonable plan. Look forward to hearing how it goes! Happy 4th!
