There are two patches needed to build and install ppc64el ISO's, IMG's and Netboot tarball's.

As of March 23, 2017, you will also need to clone and build grub2 on the build machine to include a patch for the ieee1275 chrp grub install -> [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ppc64el/grub2|How To Build and Install Grub2]]

Live-Build Steps for building a custom ISO, IMG or Netboot tarball with a custom kernel

Live-Build is a Debian based infrastructure -> Debian Live-Build Manual

Build Host Requirements

Setting up Live-Build with Patches

There are two patches needed to build and install ppc64el ISO's, IMG's and Netboot tarball's.

Sample Configuration

This tutorial is based on a pre-configured setup for ppc64el as an example.

Use the following tar file as the basis for setting up the build environment and there will be steps identified to show how to tweak the sample to achieve your desired results.
