CentOS 7 1804 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
Hi Guys and Girls
I have a brand new Raspberry pi Model B+ and i am trying to install CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-RaspberryPI-Minimal-1804-sda.raw.xz and i need a little help.
In the wiki https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterest ... rch/armhfp under 'How to unpack the image for your board' I just can not get this to work. I know I am doing something wrong just not sure what.
I have centos running on a virtual box.
I download the CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-RaspberryPI-Minimal-1804-sda.raw.xz, insert the SD card and mount it.
I then copy the file to SD card.
Then run command:
xzcat CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-$MODEL-$VARIANT-$RELEASE-sda.raw.xz | sudo dd of=$/path/to/sd/card status=progress bs=4M
sudo sync
I check the card and i can see files on there, thought when i try to boot up the pi using the SD card i get nothing.
And because there is no .iso i just can't simply write the .ios using win32 disk imager.
Total Noob here, could someone please point me in the right direction as i am all turned around here.
Cheers

You did change "$/path/to/sd/card" to point to the place your sd card is mounted?xzcat CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-$MODEL-$VARIANT-$RELEASE-sda.raw.xz | sudo dd of=$/path/to/sd/card status=progress bs=4M
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

I don't run CentOS on an rpi but I checked my libreelec box and it has an sd card that is partitioned and /dev/mmcblk0p1 is marked as active. I do not know if the media needs to be partitioned for CentOS use too but I suspect it might.

Re: CentOS 7 1804 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
I do remember seeing /dev/mmcblk0p1
I take it there is no 1804 iso image?
Has the CentOS team changed it as there use to be .iso for the earlier centos builds for the pi

I have even had raspbain installed and booting of the USB key.
Adding the SD card and following the instructions in the wiki but still no luck

I checked and the image already contains partitions so it is designed to be dd'ed to the entire device and will create its own partitions.

Re: CentOS 7 1804 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
I just read your post again. You have to have the sd card UNmounted and the dd goes to the path of the raw device.

Re: CentOS 7 1804 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
looks like that did the trick it now boots up.
Though it looks like it waiting for eth0 link to become ready,
Edit - just need to yum install NetworkManager-tui
