Hi all.
How can I create CentOS 7.2 image for ppc64 arch? Are there any scripts, guides, etc..(is it open source..?)?
What is difference between build envs for RH 7.0 and CentOS 7.2 ..? I see, RH uses yaboot as bootloader and so on, when C7.2 - uses grub...
--- Regards, Vit Ry.
Is it possible to ran CentOS 7.2 ppc64 on PowerVM ? CentOS's initd is 37Mb, when AFAIK Powervm has some constrains about initrd (<= 32Mb). --- Regards, Vit Ry.

Hi Vit,
We have 7.2 ppc64 running on an IBM 812L under PowerVM.
The initrd size limit AFAIK is a yaboot limitation for TFTP netboot rather than something related to PowerVM, so you have to use grub2 for the netboot instead.
IBM has a DeveloperWorks wiki page with a recipe for doing this:
