       Any cloud providers that have power9/10 available? Must be able to boot custom kernels. Maybe this doesn't exist?Trying to debug an odd issue with powerpc, which is somewhat difficult when you don't have acess to a box...

       @penguin42 Thanks, that may work. Too bad they don't have debian, as everything I need to reproduce is readily available there. Don't want to waste too much time on setup, and all the enterprise'y stuff is so outdated.Can I boot custom kernels on these?

       @axboe No idea not tried it; but I'd bet it's close to a normal Power LPAR, so should boot whatever you like?

       @penguin42 That's what I assumed too. Pretty wild configuring these, I end up anywhere betwwn $740/month to $40k/month!

       @axboe I hope the $40k/monmth has gold plating on!  Just remember to turn your VM off when you're done...

       @penguin42 No kidding... This is why I've never used any cloud services for any testing and have my own lab for this kind of stuff. No openpower in in, though, unfortunately.

       @axboe Well most cloud VM config aren't going to cost you the same as a car when you forget it for a month.
