Accepted blockers
-----------------
1. kexec-tools - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2243068 - VERIFIED
kdump is enabled by default on desktops
This is basically fixed, just waiting to be pushed stable.
2. mutter - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2241632 - ASSIGNED
Netinstall ISO renders a black screen when using kickstart install
(bare metal and VM)
Well, we kinda had a fix for this, but it turns out to break something
even worse (now anaconda isn't visible on the Workstation live image).
So we're still stuck trying to find a perfect fix, unfortunately.
Desktop team plus me to keep cranking away on it.
3. shim - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2113005 - NEW
Live image made with BOOTX64.EFI from latest shim-x64-15.6-2 fails to
boot on some boards
Let's just assume this is gonna be waived.
4. uboot-tools - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2241252 - ASSIGNED
Fedora-Workstation-39_Beta-1.1 boots to a black screen on Raspberry Pi
4
Peter says "So we've basically got to the bottom of the problem and
worked out the issue, I now just need to come up with a fix.", so
that's what we're waiting on.
5. uboot-tools - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2244305 - ASSIGNED
Fedora Server 39 does not boot on Raspberry Pi 4 (RPi4) from microSD
card slot
This one's also waiting on ARM team (i.e. Peter), but seems somewhat
less clear-cut of a blocker, so we're kinda waiting for his take on
that, plus testing from other Raspberry Pi owners would be useful.
6. distribution - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2242759 - NEW
dnf system-upgrade fails on some RPi4 due to system boot date that pre-
dates gpg key
We're still kinda kicking around ideas for "fixing" this, but I think
if push comes to shove, we'll wind up revoting or waiving it as not
practically fixable.
I'm just spitballing here for item (6), but can you install a dummy
package on the RPI's with no real time clock, and interpret the
presence of the package to mean "skip time checks"? Maybe something
like skip-time-check.rpm?
We used to experience these kinds of problems a lot back in the early
2000s on mobile devices without a SIM card. The phone would reboot,
but was unable to acquire time from the network because there was no
access to the mobile network. It was especially common for old test
phones. You would have your current mobile phone with service, and 4
or 5 test phones without SIM cards.
