I compiled a custom kernel from the fedora src.rpm for 4.19.8. I turned off all schedulers except NOOP and BFQ. But there was no way in the configuration process (make menuconfig) to set BFQ as default. I tried setting it in kernel-local, but the build process errored because it said NOOP is the default and that disagreed with my choice. I'm running the kernel and it is using noop. And there is no way to change it in the /sys hierarchy.
So, how do I get a fedora kernel to run BFQ?
