ianwtonyb: any thoughts on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/536852 and ppc64le v el ?  i feel like we've discussed this before21:54
openstackgerritMerged openstack/diskimage-builder master: Remove architecture rules on lshw dependency in ironic-agent  https://review.openstack.org/52621222:07
tonybianw: I'll comment on the review, it's basically correct if we're comparing to the distro arch (which I think we're doing).  At some stage it'd be cool split ditroarch from kernel arch and provide functions to check both.  That'd handle amd64 vs x86_64 and ppc64le vs ppc64el22:08
tonybianw: selfishly I'd like to see it rebased on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/526212/22:09
tonybOh which you've just approved!22:09
tonybianw: ANy chance you can revisit https://review.openstack.org/#/c/532279/4 ?22:28
ianwtonyb: yeah, i think we can still do better on 53227922:30
tonybianw: okay22:30
ianwlet me see more closely ...22:31
tonybianw: If you have time that'd be great.22:31
ianwmy strong preference is to keep the hack isolated to one place22:32
tonybianw: okay I get that but I kinda thought that's what PS4 did.22:33
ianwyes, but i don't think merge_into_config is the right place ... that's a sort of hack function due to us supporting old environment variables from the prehistoric era22:34
tonybianw: Ahh okay22:34
* ianw context switches back in how all this works :)22:34
tonybianw: sorry (but thanks)22:35

openstackgerritIan Wienand proposed openstack/diskimage-builder master: Export DIB_ROOT_LABEL from final state  https://review.openstack.org/53227923:35
ianwtonyb: ^ ok, that's what i'm thinking ... are you able to try that out in the exact problem case?23:35
tonybianw: I am.  takes me about 30mins to reproduce it.23:37
tonybianw: I'll get back to you abotu then ;P23:37
tonybianw: Actually it''l be about twice that so I can do A/B testing.23:41
ianwthat's ok, i'm not going anywhere :)23:45
ianwbetween ppc64le/el, amd_64/x86_64, aarch64/arm64 have we collectively managed have history repeat time after time?23:47
tonybianw: Yup, the ppc64le/el is for different reasons to amd_64/x86_64.23:50
tonybianw: I don't really know the reasons/history for aarch64/arm6423:51
tonybianw: the "right" solution is to decpuple the kernel arch from the distro arch and then use them appropriately23:51
tonybAm I running on a 64-bit ppc box in LE mode vs 'what does my distro call the CPU I'm running on'23:52
tonybI'm a bit on the fence as to whether we ever really need that second check but I could be convinced either way.23:53
tonybianw: If I get enough of OpenStack running on ppc64le I23:53
openstackgerritIan Wienand proposed openstack/diskimage-builder master: Don't install dmidecode on Fedora ppc64le  https://review.openstack.org/53685223:54
tonyb'll take a stab at cleaning it all up but that's a big patch series and a cultural chnage for the core team23:54
