Okay. I can confirm I can now boot the USB device to completion. I

also successfully able to upgrade the system using the "dnf -y update"
command and reboot successfully using the newer kernel. The key was NOT to
create a new initramfs image after changing the UUIDs for the root
partition. As well, the cpuidle.off=1 kernel boot parameter was required in
the extlinux.conf file.
I did NOT concatenate the u-boot.bin and u-boot.dtb files. I just flashed
the u-boot.bin with the other files from Hardkernel that Dennis specifies
below.
There are two problems I see right off the bat. First, as Dennis mentions,
the USB3 ports do not work. Second, only 4 of the 8 cpus seem to be working
based on a top command. Even so, the system actually seems pretty
responsive and usable.
What does lscpu show? I suspect being a big.little platform you'll
find that all the CPUs work but it might only run one cluster at a
time, or only power up the second cluster under load. I'm not sure
what the algorithms the cpu frequency drivers use for the exynos
platforms, I suspect it depends on other factors as well such as
thermal temp (the tmon util in kernel-tools might give you insight
there).
