Ah found it, its AIX diag images... try a newer one, for some reason the
old one won't work, possibly because it doesn't recognize the emulated
CPU (Power7).

Of course it won't go far :-) You'll get a banner message and that's it,
nobody has looked into supporting AIX in there at this point (and I
doubt anybody from IBM will, so if that's ever going to happen it will
have to come from the community).

Cheers,
Ben.
