Hi all,
Just in case anybody ever needs this, or has followed this thread to its
end and wants to see the final result, I packaged up my BOEL
replacement.
Since it was meant to install Centos 7 it has the uninspiring and
uninformative name "C7knl". It is on sourceforge here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/c7knl/
I'm not making any great claims about this, other than that it was able
to replace BOEL in SystemImager for my purposes. Using that combination
an image of Centos 7 was successfully installed onto 9 machines
(simultaneously) after it partitioned their disks and set up xfs file
systems.
There are some instructions included for rebuilding the initrd, kernel,
and binaries.tar.gz file. Hopefully they are clear enough so that it
shouldn't be too hard for others to start from this and modify it as
needed.
Regards,
David Mathog
