Have version 22 loaded on 64GB secureSD chip, Pi 2 boots to multi-user (level 3) text login prompt, displays on screen that Ethernet is active (see it obtained IP address via DHCP from router). I enter root as user and have tried fidora, 1234, 123456, password and nothings as password but can't get in. I was never prompted to set root password as this is Raspberry, not standard install.

Hi John,
Nice to hear you're playing with a Raspberry Pi.
I have some ideas. Do you get a splash screen before it starts booting? If so, press E to edit the current boot entry. At the end of its kernel line add the word " single". Then proceed with the bootup. I thinks that's F10 but it says what to press somewhere on the boot screen.
Once you've booted up you'll be in single user mode with full root privileges. Set a root password there.
NB. I haven't used f22 yet and don't know if you are even allowed to login as root. Some distros require you to login as a regular user and use sudo su to get to root. That would require you to create a new user account and add that user to one of the special groups (on Ubuntu that group is adm).
hope that get's you going.
Have 7 Raspberry units now, 1 model B single core, 6 Pi 2 quad core. The single core unit is running Pidora, a little sluggish but it is running e-mail, Apache, MySQL, and is a fax server. Two of the model 2 units are running xbian. I tried running Pidora on the model 2 units but it hangs on boot.
There is no splash screen on the Fedora 22 on Pi, just rapid scrolling as it loads modules, no opportunity to edit the boot options to add single. I've been using Linux since 1998 so I've tried all the tricks. Last thing I did was to take the SD chip and edit options on another computer. Fedora 22 doesn't use inittab like prior distros, uses targets. I moved the level 3 target to a backup and copied level 1 (recovery) to level 3 but didn't help.
I'm wondering if I can edit the user file and add an ID then boot.

Edit (as root) /etc/default/grub to change the timeout period; the default is 5. Then, rebuild grub.cfg and try again.

There is a fedora-arm list to ask questions like this:
For a sig on that list:
_______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
Personally, I don't 'like' the raspberry croud. They do a remix that then lock them into a kernel. There has been significant work by the Fedora-arm team to make the image flexible for many boards. Such that a new kernel can be installedand the board specific features adjusted on your board from the general kernel.
I will not jump on the Raspberry bandwagon. There are many boards, with more features at lower cost that work well with what Fedora has been doing. Plus there is now the effort for a Centos 7 port. The team focused on aarch64 first, and now are working on finishing the armv7l distro. Still lot of work there..

Copying /etc/shadow and /etc/password from another system to the Raspberry allowed me to log in. The root partition created from other instructions was too small and any attempt to update caused it to run out of space. Created another partition using remaining 56GB and mounted as /var, updating now but will take hours.
Thanks for your help.

Put the card in a Fedora system and use gparted to resize the partition. This is in the installations instructions for Fedora 22 on armv7.

. my help was not solution, but you are welcome anyway. ;-)
i am glad to see that you did get it working and your solution.
later on i hope to be getting 3 rpi. 1 to play with, other 2 to put into service as a wifi repeater so i can have wifi in all of my back yard when i am lazing in the sun. right now i only have coverage for 10' from house.
i plan to set the 2 up with 'corner reflector' antennas. i pointed to inside of house feeding other pointed to back yard. such works with amateur and commercial 2 way radios, so it should work with wifi.
btw. in noting how thunderbird 'long lined' what it was quoting i am wondering, does that happen often?
have you tried <ctrl+r> to quote properly?
