Initrd too big on POWER6

Post by jl3k21j3l21 » 2017/03/18 16:46:26

I'm trying to install Centos 7 ppc64 on an IBM POWER6 box and running into an issue. The kernel stops booting with "could not allocate enough memory for RTAS". Some searching turns up a thread about initrd being too big for the space provided by the open firmware. Uncompressed it is 160Mb.

Does anyone have a stripped down initrd image I can repack into the ISO and get this thing running?
