Any ideas on bare metal CentOS under OPAL, Power8 with either latest firmware levels (FW840 or OP810)?

I knew I was going to regret using ‘supported’ as soon as I clicked send :)

So let me revise:

The correct answer is that if it’s supported in RHEL 7.2 ppc64le, then it should work in CentOS 7 1511 ppc64le. And if CentOS 7 1511 ppc64le doesn’t work, then offer to step in and help fix it :)
