We can boot ppc64le by KVM on POWER7 (abbrev. PowerKVM) |
| 25 |
and KVM on Power7 is big endian. If you have real POWER7 hardware, |
| 26 |
you can install Ubuntu or RedHat ( integrated with KVM by default) on |
| 27 |
POWER7. |

As above, we can boot ppc64le by KVM on POWER7. Is not mean that we can |
| 36 |
booting/filing/fixing by KVM? If so, i'll try to get some KVM virtual |
| 37 |
machines :-) |
