missing kernel rpm causing troubles
by Dan Horák 02 Mar '11

02 Mar '11

Looks like the missing kernel rpm is starting to cause troubles. I'm using common kernel and initramfs to provide support for the Kirkwood based devices like Sheevaplug or the QNAPs and thus need dracut to create the initramfs. And installing dracut now fails with [root@fedora-arm ~]# LANG=C yum install dracut ... --> Running transaction check ---> Package libdrm.armv5tel 0:2.4.20-1.fc13 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: kernel >= 2.6.29.1-52.fc11 for package: libdrm-2.4.20-1.fc13.armv5tel ---> Package sgpio.armv5tel 0:1.2.0.10-4.fc12 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: libdrm-2.4.20-1.fc13.armv5tel (fedora) Requires: kernel >= 2.6.29.1-52.fc11 So the options are - prepare a real kernel rpm (even when it shouldn't be much useful), prepare a fake kernel package (containing Provides: kernel=V-R only) or something else. And I've chosen the fake the kernel method for now, see attachments. Dan

Preconfigured ARM VM available for testing on PCs
by Chris Tyler 01 Mar '11

I've packaged up a preconfigured ARM VM for easy testing of Fedora-ARM on a PC. From my blog post[0]: --- http://blog.chris.tylers.info/index.php?/archives/248-.html The Fedora ARM secondary architecture project[1] reached a significant milestone last week with Paul's announcement of the beta 1 release[2]. Interested in ARM but lacking ARM hardware? Not a problem! Fedora includes support for ARM virtual machines, and I'm packaged up a preconfigured ARM VM for your convenience: * ARM virtual machine package: http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/arm/armvm/noarch/armvm-f13beta1-15.fc13.noa… * Repo config for staying up-to-date on ARM VM releases: http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/arm/armvm/noarch/armvm-release-1-1.fc13.noa… The armvm package will install a preconfigured ARM virtual machine named "f13-arm-beta1" with a 2GB image and a 128MB memory footprint. Since x86_64 processors don't provide hardware support for ARM processor virtualization, the ARM VM will run slowly compared to i386/x86_64 VMs, but the performance should be tolerable on most machines (Atom netbooks excepted). You can manage the VM with virsh or virt-manager. Enjoy! (Please don't forget that both the Fedora ARM beta release and the armvm package are very definitely at the pre-release/beta stage of maturity. In particular, updating the armvm package will REPLACE your arm VM with a new image - beware!).
