[fedora-arm] F18 ARM vexpress XFCE on QEMU
So I tried the F18 vexpress XFCE image and kernel on QEMU, using the
most recent nightly from scotland.proximity.on.ca.
It has a (probably) different problem from the F17 release images I've
tried previously. I can successfully get it booted to an XFCE session.
When I try to do a yum upgrade, it has serious network performance
problems. It actually had connection timeouts talking to
archive.kernel.org and mirrors.rit.edu, among others. I have no trouble
talking to those servers from the host, and get high bandwidth and low
latency, so I don't know any reason why the performance in QEMU should
be so abysmal.
I presume that this stuff works much better on real hardware?
