If you have real POWER7 hardware, we have a Gentoo box running on a POWER7 from IBM: IBM,8231-E2B POWER7 32 x 3.5GHz it has KVM enabled in it. so i guess we should be able to start a LE instance in KVM there. > you can install Ubuntu or RedHat ( integrated with KVM by default) on > POWER7. are you really making this suggestion on a Gentoo list ? ;) booting other distros isn't generally interesting to us. don't you already have a Gentoo instance booting ? -mike --i7F3eY7HS/tUJxUd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWBNYRAAoJEEFjO5/oN/WBz08P/jGLDaOkT5H8TwSo3CnvqkVI FPvHy6Xvjq9TDUG+FQldOh6VpkoLjfTgAkdk71eLOjZAMFzS1CIpg0gU0YzpqN7P uom79lyW5u6I0ay0zfcHPGI7sYJhSV2c0HnRX5l1eXPRVrc2cfr6t1241nx4Yt/E COvro3sF6xcyjtTJIjZ5yu+i1ZMspWDW3He4BJDLQJyV+i9DZFISzrCvM6YOqhVp JNLKFh501m2ctuVR7gm7hoeu/m9cDn4RWRsmuhAEINzjPShJw10joR3MBrIGYjq4 wAQpVcqga52B028oEY4QFRxob355qqKzYU95ALXC0OFeYKzr9bKqzOCs4+/SmpSk nRTPseYYagu1hcEYuH10fgau/0B93mgUQzs5i2iBZkwa9msPD4uvJ0ulZ3h7UwoE AaYaB24ReE3AGslUvWxTtmixLi/oh3Musnaqc/PDjXTdDjeHWXzXi/UGrjQIsdGd Lw+dSFsHFYUgWrOtSrsrY7o5qm13f9Y/h55cxmH0g28k2FCmz1ZJmgvx2RMa4NN7 9NQcOIGkbkJFRR1jqBhX2UeZ0gZRpAixpFjNABNCKG+hZ6rmiTZFmOqe+fpWesm7 ouKdn8CJ5SYxVYFk24bl+l8JmZI/NrTkMbTpBkrPVhGdCWsIlc6eIpx+DQzwcztc /jREIMphyBNUNYXnMQQY =vFqh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --i7F3eY7HS/tUJxUd--
