I tried qemu using this link but it's wildly out of date...

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/AArch64/Install_with_QEMU

Updated for Fedora 33.

I updated the url for Fedora 33 but it still fails...

sudo virt-install --name f33-aarch64-urlinst --ram 4096 --arch aarch64 --boot uefi --disk size=8 --location https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/33/Server/x86_6...

Updating the url to aarch64 should work.

sudo virt-install --name f33-aarch64-urlinst --ram 4096 --arch aarch64 --boot uefi --disk size=8 --location https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/33/Server/aarch...

The aarch64 test instances are down due to the infra move and there are none for s390x.

Yeah, sorry about that. ;(

So for aarch64, perhaps we can (at least until we get our machines back online) spin up some amazon instances as test machines. Filed a ticket for that: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/9541

s390x is harder. ;( I see downthread someone pointed to a ibm place that can provide them. I wish we could.

I believe we can get a dedicated VM for Fedora, so it could be listed at the "test resources" wiki page. It's on my to-do list. For individual needs please contact me.

I'll take a look at the IBM community stuff while I'm on holiday after this week which may also be a stop gap.

It's probably limited to a short trial period or something. You'll probably find it lot easier to work with Dan Horak instead. ;)

Since is testing building, wh not mock with forcearch [1] ?

Well, it only took a little over 5 hours for one build attempt, but it worked!

And that was on my decent desktop machine AMD Ryzen 5 3600.

Thanks, Richard

If you don't mind spending some money then Raspberry Pi 4 is a very capable Fedora machine these days:

I've been watching progress on that in the Fedora ARM list and also on the BackupPC mailing list. It looks promising but not quite ready just yet and I've seen some reports of design flaws causing issues as well.

Regardless I was gifted a Nvidia Jetson Nano which helped me solve the problem. Well, not quite solved, but it's in upstreams hands now.

Thanks! Richard
