I have tested this and yes it works for me.
However, just to clarify, I am not using the image with ARM64 EFI firmware
such as EDKII yet, so in fact I pull out the ext4 guts and reformat the
rootfs into a custom layout for our flash using uboot.
If I may be selfish, I would actually prefer an ext4 tarball, as was also
previously available for 7.3:
http://vault.centos.org/altarch/7.3.1611/isos/aarch64/
1. So I am not sure if you would consider my test useful
2. I did find a minor issue, but I cannot be sure this is not a consequence
of the way I have used it:
[FAILED] Failed to start LSB: Bring up/down networking
So the first thing I have done was to disable the NetworkManager (and
-wait-online) service in order to fall back on the network.service. However
it still did not work (although I must confess I did not see the same
error).
In my debugging attempt I ran:
ifup eth2 (I created the ifcfg-eth2 file with networkmanager controlled
disbled)
Error:
In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ipv6 line 56
This file did not exist: /etc/sysconfig/network
So I touched this file and it started working for m as I expect after a
reboot.
Apologies if this is a goose chase...
