I see vfat images dated this month, however still indicating the serial console requirement.
When will we get to a bootable image, with usb/hdmi support please?

This month's VFAT image for the Beaglebone Black is badly broken. If you want something workable use an older image.Fedora-Minimal-VFAT-armhfp-20-1-sda.raw.xz http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/releases/20/Images/armhfp/Fedora-Minimal-VFAT-armhfp-20-1-sda.raw.xz contains a kernel which keep oops'ing on certain operations, like an outbound slogin attempt. I reported that and the response was kernel RPM 3.12.5-302 which results in a board which will not boot at all.
It looks like kernel-3.12.5-302 fixes various things for x86_64 machines, so it is an improvement for them, yet it really wrecks an ARM installation. I guess we can expect ARM to always be a secondary architecture, with anything that benefits x86_64 users being pushed, regardless of its effects on other users.
