So, I got it backwards - need 7.1 to do anything with POWER8.

Are you doing a "bare metal" install? That may be why you are having a problem and I have not (up through Power6 and Power7).

For bare metal then, I would try/experiment with Ubuntu.

These are not the most current - from my notes from Feb/March 2014 when I was installing debian, ubuntu, opensles and fedora on a Power6.

Code:

Fedora

UBUNTU

Fedora needs vnc, OpenSLES needs (for net boot) to install from http - I would skip for now, debian and ubuntu install easily with a console connection - and also support vnc if I recall. (VNC install might be easier, but you still need a bit of contact with the console).

My "favorite" free Linux is debian - this is how I setup my VIOS to support an install.

Code:

$ mkrep -sp rootvg -size 10G
$ lsmap -vadapter vhost2
$ mkvdev -fbo -vadapter vhost2 -dev vtopt64

NAME

       Encode::Byte - Single Byte Encodings

SYNOPSIS

	   use Encode qw/encode decode/;
	   $greek = encode("iso-8859-7", $utf8);  # loads Encode::Byte implicitly
	   $utf8  = decode("iso-8859-7", $greek); # ditto

ABSTRACT

       This module implements various single byte encodings.  For most cases it uses x80-xff (upper half) to map non-ASCII characters.  Encod-
       ings supported are as follows.
