Re: [fedora-arm] [F15] NFS boot [howto]
by Jon Masters
Or you need the real fix, which is the new Device Tree enabled kernel images in progress that allow the board to get the MAC from dtb on boot. More details later...but we do have this fixed. The Ubuntu hack is from elsewhere - cute, but not the solution longer term :)

Oh! I forgot the original topic: NFS boot. In that case, you probably
do need a persistent MAC earlier in the boot process, which means either
the patch to let you set the MAC on the kernel command line, or Ubuntu's
method of using the board revision and die id.

ARM Koji system - /mnt/koji
by Chris Tyler
A quick note: the /mnt/koji filesystem on the hub has been moved, it's
now 2TB and can be grown further if required.

[F15] qt
by Zoran Pericic
I managed to compile qt but it suffer from default
-fstrict-volatile-bitfields in GCC 4.6.0.
This patch add -fno-strict-volatile-bitfields which resolve compilation
issue. Another patch is to disable neon on non-neon armv7hl
IMO. This should be same bug as one in kernel ehci-hub. armv5tel should
be affected too.
So is this good or it will be fixed in GCC?

[F15] NFS boot [howto]
by Zoran Pericic
This is how I configured NFS root on my pandaboard. There is also
complete boot partition in [1]
1) Install grubby, u-boot and dracut-network from my repo [2]
2) Install kernel-omap. This kernel have path that allow you to set mac
address for smsc95xx with smsc95xx.macaddr kernel boot argument.
3) Change KERNEL_ARG in /etc/sysconfig/uboot for dracut network boot [3]
KERNEL_ARGS="ro vram=32M root=dhcp fixrtc console=ttyO2,115200
mem=460M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000 omapdss.def_disp=dvi
smsc95xx.macaddr=5A:3E:83:2D:BA:41 selinux=0"
4) Add option "root-path=SERVER:PATH" to dhcp server
host pandaboard1 {
hardware ethernet 5a:3e:83:2d:ba:41;
fixed-address 10.21.38.31;
option root-path "10.21.38.4:/nfs/pandaboard1-fc15";
}
5) Run "flash-kernel --update-bootscript 2.6.38.8-36.06.fc15.armv7hl.omap"

Re: [fedora-arm] gcc RPMs

I already let Andrew know how to get these bits into the rootfs. We need a working buildroot...then we get things integrated into primary srpm.

File bugs in the bugzilla.redhat.com and have the packages include your
patches (if not upstream yet).
The patches should be included in the standard Fedora Packages, as an
exception, some people (Proven Packagers?) seem to be able to build
custom packages for the ARM repositories.
I suggest that you send an email to this list with exact details on what
needs patching and a short description on the 'why'. dgilmore and
pbrobinson seem active in fixing ARM specific issues and build packages
that are different from the standard Fedora ones.
Cheers,
