Fedora 27 (aarch64) on Pine Rock64
by Leah Anderson 18 Mar '18

18 Mar '18

Hi. I have hopefully an easy question but has anyone gotten Fedora 27 aarch64 to work on the Pine Rock64 (https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=7147)? I installed the image using the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/AArch64/F27/Installation. Specifically I made sure to set --target=pine64_plus. The image I pulled was from https://alt.fedoraproject.org/alt/ and was the minimal image. Based on this (https://nullr0ute.com/2017/11/overview-of-aarch64-sbc-support-in-fedora-27/) I saw that a serial connection was required but unfortunately I can't seem to get that piece to work. I did also flash an Ubuntu image just to make sure I had the jumpers correct for the serial connection and that did work as expected. I also made sure to set enable_uart=1 in config.txt. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)

Fedora 27 on ODroid UX4
by Daniel Riek 18 Mar '18

18 Mar '18

Quick summary of the steps I took to make Fedora 27 (with a 28 kernel) work on my ODroid UX4. Thanks to Peter Robinson for his help. Basically following the instructions from: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/arm@lists.fedoraproject.org/t… - Host Fedora laptop - Install some stuff on the host: # dnf -y install minicom fedora-arm-installer uboot-images-armv7.noarch curl - Create a working directory and enter: # mkdir ~/ODroid && cd ~/ODroid - Get Fedora minimal image for ARMv7: # wget https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/Spins/armhf… - Get the hardkernel boot files # git clone git@github.com:hardkernel/u-boot.git # cd u-boot # git checkout remotes/origin/odroidxu4-v2017.05 # cd .. - Insert SDcard, make sure the partitions are not mounted. - Run fedora-arm-installer: # sudo fedora-arm-image-installer --addkey=~/.ssh/id-rsa.pub --resizefs --target=none --image=./Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-27-1.6-sda.raw.xz <http://image%3D./Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-27-1.6-sda.raw.xz> --media=/dev/sdb - Eject SD and re-insert (not sure that is really needed). Make sure filesystems are not mounted. - Write the binary boot code and u-boot: # cd u-boot/sd_fuse/ # ln -s /usr/share/uboot/odroid-xu3/u-boot.* . # sudo ./sd_fusing.sh /dev/sdb - Eject SD and re-insert - this time mount it. - Add 'cpuidle.off=1' to the kernel 'append' command line in extlinux.conf, otherwise it won't boot: go to the mount point for the __boot volume. In my case: # cd /run/media/${USERNAME}/__boot/extlinux/extlinux. conf # sudo sed -i 's/^$.*append ro root=UUID=[0-9a-f-]\+$ *$/\1 cpuidle.off=1'/ extlinux.conf - In order to enable hardware, get 4.15(or later) kernel from the Fedora 28 tree: # cd /run/media/${USERNAME}/__/home # sudo mkdir packages && cd packages # for CURP in `curl http://mirror.nodesdirect.com/fedora//development/28/Everything/armhfp/os/P… 2>/dev/null | grep kernel- | sed 's/.*$kernel.*rpm$.*$/\1/'`; do echo ${CURP} ; sudo curl -o ${CURP} http://mirror.nodesdirect.com/fedora//development/28/Everything/armhfp/os/P…; done # cd - Eject SD and put into ODroid device, boot. - Connect through minicom to serial console - Go through the initial setup menu set a root password, time zone, etc. - Login as root - Install newer kernel: # cd /home/packages # rpm -Uvh kernel-lpae-4*rpm kernel-lpae-core-4*.rpm kernel-lpae-modules-4* - Update extlinux.conf to set the new kernel as the default # cd /boot/extlinux # sed -i 's/^default=Fedora-Mini.*$/default=Fedora/' extlinux.conf - Reboot There are a couple of remaining kernel errors, but overall it works as a starting point. Also for me "fedora-arm-image-installer --target=none" creates a partition with Raspi boot files. If that is not intended I should file a BZ on that I guess. Regards, Daniel

Rawhide: PXE-E23: Client received TFTP error from server
by Chris Tatman 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

Hey All, I have a working pxe/tftp environment that works great with Fedora27, and I am just now starting to test rawhide. But when I use the same setup, and to pxe boot rawhide, my client returns the following error: "PXE-E23: Client received TFTP error from server" I can see the logs on the server, and the client is pxe booting, and getting an IP address. But right afterwards, the client returns that error. My dhcpd.conf entry for the client is as follows: -------------------------- host mustang1 { hardware ethernet 00:01:73:02:36:10; fixed-address 192.168.1.93; next-server 192.168.1.2; # filename "linux-install/fedora27/BOOTAA64.EFI"; filename "linux-install/rawhide/BOOTAA64.EFI"; # filename "linux-install/rhel-alt-74/BOOTAA64.EFI"; # filename "linux-install/mustang/UpgradeFirmware.efi"; } ------------------------- And when I comment out the rawhide entry, and uncomment any of the others, the client proceeds to boot as expected. I got all my boot files this time from the rawhide netinst iso: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Server/aa… Has anyone run into this issue in their testing yet? Thanks!

Changing / from xfs to ext4 ?
by linux guy 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

I'm using an RPi with Fedora 27 (of course !) in an environment where it sometimes loses power and shuts down prematurely. This has a tendency to corrupt the xfs filesystem that / resides on. As most of you probably know, it is much, much easier to repair a file system error with other file systems, ext4, for example. It is very time consuming to repair an error on an xfs file system. What would be the disadvantage to mounting / on an ext4 fs rather than xfs ? What changes would be needed elsewhere to acomodate this ? Thanks. Special thanks to the Fedora arm people for all their hard work !

WIFI not working on some channels
by DDI Ognian Tschakalov 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hello, I've tested Fedora-Minimal-Rawhide-20180308.n.2.aarch64 on rpi3 and it looks good,but there is still a Problem getting WIFI to work with channel 13: 1. regulatory.db is NOT included anymore in the crda package BUT can be downloaded from here https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/network/wireless-regdb/ <https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/network/wireless-regdb/> ; I'm actually not sure if it is really needed anymore 2. the root cause seems to be https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg170886.html <https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg170886.html> which was introduced by https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10236241/ <https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10236241/> so that this is the failing line in the kernel: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/dri… <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/dri…> Let’s hope that this will be fixed upstream… Thanks Ognian

I would like to ask representatives of Fedora Working Groups and Spins and Labs SIGs to work with the Fedora Marketing team and solicit bullet points for the F28 Beta release announcement. As an inspiration you can use the old F27 Beta Release Announcement [1] and the new F28 Talking points [2].
