RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Brian Lane 2019-02-08 00:19:02 UTC 
Can you be more specific? Have you run lorax-composer on these arches? What errors did you encounter?

Please attach logs from /var/log/lorax-composer/ and from anaconda, either in /tmp/*log if there was a crash or from /var/lib/lorax/composer/UUID/logs/anaconda/*log

Note that to create images for other arches you must be running lorax-composer on that arch, there is no cross-arch build support.
Comment 8 Brian Lane 2019-02-14 01:07:19 UTC 
Updated the PR here -
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/pull/603

All image types except for live-iso are working for me on ppc64le with these patches. I'll look at s390 and aarch64 tomorrow.
Comment 9 Brian Lane 2019-02-14 21:29:37 UTC 
aarch64 also works with just the reqpart PR added. s390 also needs an anaconda patch to fix tar (it is prompting for ssh login when doing --dirinstall). I filed bug #1677417 for anaconda
Comment 10 Brian Lane 2019-02-19 17:30:07 UTC 
PR has been updated also support live-iso creation on multiple arches. It is currently against master and needs to be backported to rhel8-branch
