Description of problem: We need to enable support for installation of RDO using TripleO. The blocker is that diskimage-builder does not currently function correctly on AArch64. We would like to help fix this, but we need assistance from the maintainers. We can get you access to hardware to help out, and we can provide help with any ARM specific information.
Jon, I know partners have been pushing us hard on this and I suppose I could ask them but could you provide some more detail on "diskimage-builder does not currently function correctly on AArch64" means?
I just tried a simple test run of diskimage-builder-1.14.1-1.el7 on a RHELSA-7.3 installation: disk-image-create -a aarch64 vm fedora It immediately responded with: WARNING: Unknown architecture: aarch64 but it proceeds to attempt to download what appear to be some pre-build images, i.e., https://cloud.fedoraproject.org/fedora-22.aarch64.qcow2 which it fails to find. From the original bug description, does "diskimage-builder does not currently function correctly on AArch64" mean there is no AArch64 support, or that I need to be working on a newer (development/upstream) version in order to test AArch64 support?
David: I'll give you a call tomorrow to sync on this - sorry for delay.
Quick update on this: David has figured out what needs fixing and has made progress on this. It's being worked on within the RDO community and I will poke it shortly.
