Can you check your /usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map.xml file? Also you can run #virsh cpu-models ppc64

also below is the output of different commands..

cat /proc/cpuinfo 

processor   : 0
cpu     : e5500
clock       : 1400.000000MHz
revision    : 2.1 (pvr 8024 1021)
bogomips    : 75.00

cat  /usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map.xml  | grep e5500  
    <model name='POWERPC_e5500'>

Please share your hypervisorvirt_type details. Set cpu_mode=none in nova.conf and try.

I configured virt_type=kvm and cpu_mode=none in /etc/nova/nova.conf but still the same result.

Hi  Team 

I made nova-compute with icehouse  work now on ppc platform.I made some changes in the code of nova-compute API and now I'm able to proceed successfully.

Thanks Team.

Perhaps a stupid question, but is icehouse powerpc support actually good enough (or even existing), aren't there bugs wrt that CPU arch support ?

Maybe openstack is kind of arch agnostic, but maybe not... I ask because if you go have a look at the icehouse version of the doc you cite, there is no mention of powerpc...

Did you try with something more modern (juno, kilo) ? That would certainly allow to put the outdatedness question aside.
