In rawhide
> After changes made as stated in 1st issue, booting gets stuck with following messages:
> EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
> EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table
> EFI stub: Exiting boot services and installing virtual address map...
> It seems to be a problem with console option passed in fedora-atomic kickstart file at https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts/blob/master/f/fedora-atomic.ks#_20 . It seems, arm devices uses console=ttyAMA0. Either adding console=ttyAMA0 in line#20 or removing  console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200n8 fixes the problem.

Yeah! I started debugging around 2 weeks back on aarch64, just after getting ppc64le issues sorted out (mentioned in the main ticket)

In what context? If you mean building and booting FAH cloudImage (qcow2) in rawhide, then x86_64 already exist in nightly compose. Other than that, I have tried on ppc64le locally and it should work once initial issues mentioned in this ticket get resolved.
