[fedora-arm] EspressoBin and systemd

[Timothy Krantz]

Hi,
I know the espressobin is not a currently  supported board.  That being
said, I am happily running a Fedora 27 root filesystem on one with a self
compiled kernel.

Fedora 28 root filesystem halts at boot with system freezing execution.

Fedora rawhide boots ok.

Looking into differences between 28 and rawhide I see the following:

Fedora rawhide

/usr/lib/systemd/systemd --version
systemd 238
+PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA -APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP
+GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ +LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD +IDN2 -IDN
+PCRE2 default-hierarchy=hybrid

ls -l /usr/lib/systemd/systemd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1735840 May 11 07:05 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd

dnf list systemd

systemd.aarch64 238-8.git0e0aa59.fc29  @updates


Fedora 28

/usr/lib/systemd/systemd --version
systemd 238
+PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA -APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP
+GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ +LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD +IDN2 -IDN
+PCRE2 default-hierarchy=hybrid

ls -l /usr/lib/systemd/systemd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1735240 May 11 07:08 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd

dnf list systemd
systemd.aarch64 238-8.git0e0aa59.fc28  @updates

Which looks pretty darn similar to me, down to the git revision.

So, I am wondering where I would begin to look as to why one works and one
fails (on the espressobin).

Would I grab the source RPM's and see if there is a difference in compiler
flags?  Or maybe just a difference in compiler versions?

Is it likely that the Fedora 28 version actually has a patch or patches that
are not yet in
rawhidhttps://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=883690e?

Is there any chance that this issue is related to this debian issue :

Thanks for any input.  This is NOT a big problem for me.
