Re: Fedora ARM F18 Beta VFAD - Test Images posted
Hey Lukas, I think the other (well meaning) responses haven't yet addressed your original question. For the record, for ARM development boards, we (Fedora ARM) ship prebuilt disk images suitable and intended for dd'ing onto a storage card for convenient installation. Other targets support conventional installation[0], such as on Calxeda HighBank (known as EnergyCore), and the emulation target comes as a rootfs and kernel. If you need a specific kernel binary for one of these images, you can extract it as Brendan mentioned, or you can use arm.koji.fedoraproject.org to download any package, or the the regular mirrors. If you have questions, please join a...@list.fedoraproject.org or #fedora-arm on Freenode IRC. Regards, Jon. [0] Someone will feel the need to point out that you could run Anaconda on a Trimslice, or on a PandaBoard unless I add this footnote to say I am deliberately ignoring that uncommon use case in the general Fedora user base of ARM today. -- Sent from my iPad On Jan 4, 2013, at 10:01, Lukas Zapletal lzap+...@redhat.com wrote: Pardon my ignorance, but where can I find the kernel images?

If you want to test the kernel used in the F18 ARM Beta release candidate the best option is to download the kirkwood image then extract the kernel and initramfs. Here's a link to the image: http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/arm-nightlies/vault/f18-beta-rc1/F18-kirkwood-20121220.img.xz Ucompress and as root use kpartx to expose the partitions as loopback devices: xz -d F18-kirkwood-20121220.img.xz kpartx -av F18-kirkwood-20121220.img From here you can mount the partition with the files you need. I'm not sure which one it is so you'll have to experiment: mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /somewhere Good luck, and don't forget to umount and kpartx -d that image when you're done. -- Brendan Conoboy / Red Hat, Inc. / b...@redhat.com -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
