Just some feedback from my side, so we have a smart NIC that allows a customer to select a distro going on the NIC itself (providing various custom offload flavors).

For the first wave, I generate custom images based on Ubuntu and CentOS,
so
I would love for these rootfs images to be released to some deterministic URL location so that I can generate images with a script. Something along the lines of what was done for 7.3 - the rootfs was available next to the ISO images, but no longer the case with 18.04 ( http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/aarch64/).
I will indeed put it back in the isos directory once we verify that it works.
If it does what you need, then let me know and I'll move it over to http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/aarch64/
I have tested this and yes it works for me.
However, just to clarify, I am not using the image with ARM64 EFI firmware such as EDKII yet, so in fact I pull out the ext4 guts and reformat the rootfs into a custom layout for our flash using uboot.
If I may be selfish, I would actually prefer an ext4 tarball, as was also previously available for 7.3: http://vault.centos.org/altarch/7.3.1611/isos/aarch64/
1. So I am not sure if you would consider my test useful
2. I did find a minor issue, but I cannot be sure this is not a consequence of the way I have used it:
[FAILED] Failed to start LSB: Bring up/down networking
So the first thing I have done was to disable the NetworkManager (and -wait-online) service in order to fall back on the network.service. However it still did not work (although I must confess I did not see the same error).
In my debugging attempt I ran:
ifup eth2 (I created the ifcfg-eth2 file with networkmanager controlled disbled)
Error: In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ipv6 line 56
This file did not exist: /etc/sysconfig/network
So I touched this file and it started working for m as I expect after a reboot.
Apologies if this is a goose chase...
(We do eventually plan proper EFI boot support which will allow ISO
support
in some shape or form, but not right now).
Thank you for all the effort in supporting the development community.
You're very welcome.
