    I'm nearly certain the answer to this is 'no' since the software map for Power7 hardware states that AIX 5.2 is unsupported. But, I wanted to see if anyone was able to get AIX 5.2 up and running on a partition on Power7 hardware (with the CPU in Power6 compatibility mode?)? Or will it simply not even install since the firmware on the Power7 frames are way ahead of AIX 5.2 levels.

    Thanks in advance!
