Just a quick note to thank all involved in the ppc64 AltArch effort! Was able to get one of our IBM 812L’s up and running very quickly after importing the Everything ISO into our Cobbler environment.
Next I’ll try rebuilding some of the packages that we need for 32-bit ppc…
Thanks again for all the great work!

Thank you .
My experience is a bit similar , I was able to make the CentOS ppc64le VM work on our openpower server on powerKVM hypervisor.
But haven't tried the bare metal install yet.
Brian: can you list the boot options you provided for cobbler . I'll give it a go on our cobbler at RAX too.

Hi Adi
The bootline we're using is:
ksdevice=bootif lang= kssendmac text ks=http://x.x.x.x/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/yyyyyy
This is hacked into a handcrafted grub2 netboot setup overlaid on our Cobbler tftpboot/ directory. Our Cobbler install is pretty old, and I had to graft in grub2 while playing around with Fedora 23 and its bigger-than-yaboot-could-handle initrd.
I installed into the PowerVM / SMS firmware setup; haven't tried OPAL/petitboot yet.
May go back and try C7 with the standard Cobbler yaboot automation, since I think the C7 initrd isn't too large.
Regards,

We will make the ppc (32-bit POWER7 big endian) rpms available sometime in January. Let me know if you get stuck building anything in the interim.

Oh, that's great to hear -- that'll save us a lot of NRE migrating from Fedora 12!
Would you be able to point me to an example mock config / invocation for doing this sort of cross-arch build? We need some things like HDF5 that won't be in CentOS repos but that I can lift and rebuild from EPEL. I've poked around in git.centos.org but have not found the right place to look yet.
Thanks again

Here is a mock config for 32-bit ppc. You’ll need to use fedora 19 ppc repos to back things until we make centos 7 ppc rpms available.

I've made some good progress building pieces with F19-Everything-ppc as the backing repo, but am wondering if there's any update on the 7.2.1511 RPM's for ppc?
Thanks again,

ppc 32-bit has been simmering on the back burner. Let me spend some time this week pushing it forward again.

Just a quick update on c7 ppc (32-bit big endian). I’ve got most of the circular dependencies untangled up to the gnome/kde stack. I am now automating a rebuild of 7.2.1511 ppc using the rpms I built manually from the first phase. I will then fold some of the ppc rpms into the 7.2.1511 ppc64 repos and do some testing before they get signed and pushed to the mirrors.
