I've just tried the latest F32 and Rawhide workstation images, but neither
successfully booted for me. Both hung after eth0 came up, then sat for several
minutes before logging about dracut timeouts and then a recovery shell (mouse
and keyboard never worked). I've seen that someone had success with a
Fedora-Workstation-Rawhide-20200110.n.0.aarch64.raw.xz image - has anyone
successfully booted from anything newer?
The new images do seem to be broken. I just tried the latest one, and as you
have seen, the boot process hangs at the Ethernet initialization point.
Kernel or firmware stage? The firmware stage is slow but it does go through.
I just tried Fedora-Minimal-Rawhide-20200302.n.1.aarch64.raw.xz and it worked
properly. However, Fedora-Workstation-Rawhide-20200302.n.1.aarch64.raw.xz has
a problem, as shown by the attached session.log file. I let it run for a long
period of time, and after 5 or 10 minutes it wound up at a dracut emergency
prompt. Please note that this was a fresh install - the only thing I changed
was to enable the console uart in config.txt so I could log the output.
I also tried Fedora-Minimal-Rawhide-20200214.n.1.aarch64.raw.xz, which is the
latest one that I have saved, and it boots, but it won't let me log in on the
console. I think that is because plymouth is fighting with agetty.
I do have an RPi4 running 64-bit Fedora pretty well, including a KDE desktop.
But I started with an earlier image, and it took a lot of fiddling around to
get there.
I have another RPi4 running Manjaro, and it provides a good 64-bit experience right out
of the box. You might want to try that until "Fedora on RPi4" matures.
Other distros are off topic for the list, please keep discussion to
topic, if you wish to discuss them there's other forums.
Sorry - I'll use private email in future.
