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.
