WRT CentOS, I can think of two ways to do it, both require the kernels I mentioned earlier in the thread. 1) (Easier) - Prepare the image as if you where using your cubietruck 3 - boot that image and update (from the cubietruck 3) - activate the repo and install the kernel - change uboot to the cubietruck plus - shutdown and move the image/sd to the new device. 2) (Harder) - Prepare the image for the cubietruck plus - download the kernel rpms and copy them to the sd - boot the cubietruck plus with that image (it has no ethernet, no wifi, and most likely no hdmi, so you'll have to do it via a serial console) - login via console and manually install the kernel - reboot For both metods (and also for Fedora), there may be modules that are not loaded into initramfs, which makes it panic at boot. I usually add this to a .conf file in /etc/dracut.conf.d/ add_drivers+=" phy-sun4i-usb sunxi-rsb axp20x-rsb axp20x-regulator axp20x-pek axp20x_ac_power axp20x_battery axp20x_usb_power axp288_fuel_gauge ac100 rtc-ac100" Some may not be needed anymore, and some may not be needed at all, but hey, it works for me ;) One last thing that also applies to Fedora and CentOS, you may notice that you get a random MAC for the ethernet every time you boot, you can fix that by adding "MACADDR=<mac>" to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 HTH.
