Exactly how slow is Fedora 27 on an RP3 ? dnf update takes hours ?
by linux guy 24 Jan '18

24 Jan '18

Hi people. Thanks to the powers that be for getting Fedora onto the ARM platforms. I really appreciate your work. I'm wondering if Fedora 27 is really, really slow on a RPi3 or if I'm doing something wrong or ??? I installed F27 Server Arm on an RPi3. The file I used was Fedora-Server-armhfp-27-1.6-sda.raw.xz from https://arm.fedoraproject.org/ via https://download.fedoraproject.org/p...1.6-sda.raw.xz <https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/Server/armh…> The installation was mostly straight forward. Naturally the first thing I do is run #dnf update. Upon pressing return the screen does nothing for 15 minutes. Eventually it comes back saying ~225 packages need updating, 2 need deleting and ~10 need installing. I say yes to this. The package downloads go OK, takes probably 10 minutes. But the Upgrading itself is horribly slow. Like 5 minutes per package, on average. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my RPi3 ? I thought it would be faster than this ? The only thing I can think of is that I'm running it from a 2A power adapter, rather than the 2.5A that is suggested. It seems to run fine though, no errors, etc. Is my power adapter the problem ? Thanks

Summary of Fedora on Odroid XU4
by arm_ml＠rirasoft.de 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

Summary of Fedora on Odroid XU4 1. with Kernel 4.6.5-300.fc24 system boots without failure, but update to newer kernel fails due dracut didn't build suitable intramfs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1482825 2. newer kernel works only with "cpuidle.off=1" inserted into the "append" kernel line in the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file, but all USB3 Hosts failed, no onboard ethernet 3. To boot the system from the eMMC card: A. The initramfs image file must be rebuilt. The simplest way is to: a. Boot up using the MicroSD card; b. Partition the eMMC card such that partition 1 begins on sector 3072 (Default starting sector from fdisk is 2048). There should be 4 partitions created; c. Mount the Fedora image desired to be installed on the eMMC card; d. Copy all partition data from the mounted fedora image partitions (there are 4 for Fedora 26 ARM images) to the appropriate eMMC partitions; e. Update the UUID values on what will be the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file and /etc/fstab files of the eMMC card; f. Assuming the eMMC partitions are mounted as such -- mount /dev/mmcblk1p4 /mnt mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt/boot then perform the following mounts -- mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys B. Rebuild the eMMC card's initramfs by executing the following command: chroot /mnt dracut --add-drivers='pwrseq_emmc mmc_block' /boot/initramfs-4.11.8-300.fc26.armv7hl.img 4.11.8-300.fc26.armv7hl C. Flash the boot information in the header of the eMMC card; C. Shutdown the system, then remove the MicroSD card; D. Boot up using the eMMC card. 4. If the system is to be updated using "dnf update", a new initramfs image must again be generated. This can be done using steps 1f - B. above using the new initramfs and kernel images provided by the "dnf update". ---------------------------------------------------------------- Note to the developers/maintainers of dracut: The kernel modules "pwrseq_emmc" and "mmc_block" should be included in dracut for the Odroid-XU3 and Odroid-XU4 such that the user need not have to execute this procedure each time and update to the system is performed. Is this correct and complete ? Andreas

Hello there, last step on my Odroid-Xu4 is console output on the small display at the Cloudshell (Cloudshell features a 2.2“ TFT LCD with a 320×240 resolution.
