Fedora 20 Installation on IBM Power6 Server

[Nishith Vyas]

Hello,

This is my first post in "ppc" list.

I am trying to install "Fedora 20 ppc64 bit" OS on IBM Power Server
(Power6-p520).

IBM Server Model is 8203-E4A.

I have already installed RHEL 6.5 ppc64 on other server & would like to
test all "java related compatibility" using Fedora. As "fedora 20" is
having proper compatibility over IBM Power Server segment, I would like to
troubleshoot current installation issues. The installation screen just
stuck up without further activity on screen.

I have followed below URL to install Fedora 20 on IBM Power Server.
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/c..._power?lang=en
<https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/aixpert/entry/fun_with...

I am successfully getting fedora installation screen thru VNC, but then I
can't ping VNC IP Address, which I have configured for installation. The
VNC Viewer is located on the same Network Segment & there is no firewall
which blocks any type of traffic in between VNC Viewer & VNC Server.

Here, VNC Server means IBM Power Server, on which I am trying to install
Fedora 20.

Thanks in Advance,

[Benedikt Wegmann]

Hi!

I recently installed Fedora 20 on an IBM Power 740 with PowerVM 
virtualization.
I used the installer boot options during the text mode phase of booting 
to configure the primary network interface and to enable vnc. From there 
on it was a comfortable installation through the vnc session.

The options are documented here:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html-single/Installation_Gu...

Sincerely,
Benedikt
