Networking not coming up during boot
by Beat Kuster 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

Dear Fedora CoreOS Community I did have FCOS installed on multiple Intel NUCs for a long time and was always very happy. Being on board since CentOS Atomic Host, Fedora CoreOS really is an outstandig product, thank you so much for making this possible. Now to the issue: My current system (NUC8i5BEK) has a Zincati maintenance window defined and after updates reboots automatically during this time window. Unfortunately, since release 35.20220116.3.0, it seems that networking does not come up reliably after a reboot. The boot process gets stuck and the system does not request an IP from the DHCP. (Somehow sounded a bit like https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1066 but my network driver "e1000e" is different) I identified two workarounds: - physically access the system and select at boot loader menu the last working release (~rollback) - reboot multiple times, sometimes networking magically comes up Last working release: 35.20220103.3.0 -> please note that this release always boots the first time even as of today Not working releases: 35.20220116.3.0, 35.20220131.3.0, 35.20220213.3.0 Could you please share any guidance how I could proceed? Provide more technical details here in the mailing list? Or opening a bug at https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker? Thanks in advance for any feedback, Beat

Fedora Linux 36 Beta was released today [1]. Our Fedora CoreOS `next` stream has been migrated to Fedora Linux 36 content. Existing nodes on the `next` stream will update as normal over the following days. In addition to the Fedora Project accepted changes for Fedora 36 [2], there are a few Fedora CoreOS recent announcements to consider with this update: - Fedora CoreOS moving to podman v4 [3] - Fedora CoreOS moving to iptables-nft [4] Please test out the `next` stream over the coming month and report any issues in our issue tracker [5]. Thank you to everyone helping find issues by running the `next` stream!

Latest kernel update can cause NFS mount failures
by Dusty Mabe 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

The most recent kernel update to 5.16.13-200.fc35 has been reported to cause failures for NFS clients connecting to some QNAP NAS systems. Details of the issue as well as links to upstream forum posts and downstream bug reports can be found in our issue tracker: https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1121 Fortunately this bug was caught in our `testing` stream. Unfortunately, we do need to proceed promoting this kernel into our `stable` stream because the update will fix CVE-2022-0847 (known as "dirty pipe"). If you will be affected by this bug, the easiest workaround is to switch the mount options for the mount to add `vers=4.0` for NFS 4.0. You can then follow progress in the tracker issue to know when to revert the change. Dusty Mabe for the Fedora CoreOS Team
