Being a gravedigger here. I finally had an opportunity to test an ARM machine, but the results was simply bad, I’ve documented what happened here: https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/issues/2946#issuecomment-584172647
Any help is appreciated.

That plugin/patch did result in successful install to disk at least, just that it used more tftp than I would like. It would be possible to use iPXE as that builds aarch64 and have xnba.pm support that as well, but I am at a loss for applicable aarch64 systems for me to test/develop on.

Looking around there’s some information about prototypes: https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/mailman/message/35161961/ Theres an ticket about this too here: https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/issues/2946 So the question is: what’s the state of aarch64 today? There’s any workaround, even unofficial one to at least boot aarch64 nodes from a standard x86_64 management node? Thanks,
