[fedora-arm] Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-22_Alpha-TC1-sda.raw.xz on Cubietruck

[Robert Moskowitz]

Well I have a few things perhaps of interest.

I have problems with the firstboot setup and root password.  I am using 
the installer script and the --norootpass option.  When I am prompted at 
the setup, I ignore the setting of the root password. Fortunately I also 
did not set my user password and made my user have admin priv.  Because 
when I got to login, it wanted a password for root and I could not 
figure out what.  In the past I would just provide 'root' for the login 
and I was good.  So I logged in with my user and did a 'sudo passwd 
root' to set the root password to what I wanted.

Also with the setup prompts, the timezone option has a display problem.  
I select America, which takes 3 screens to display on my serial 
console.  I noticed that the line right after the 'press enter' gets 
skipped.  In my case, city 46 is Detroit, where I live. 45 is the last 
in the first column on the second screen-worth.  I press enter and city 
47 is listed.  I figured out that 46 was Detroit by the ordering, and 
providing 46 resulted in 'Detroit' being listed as my timezone city.

So I get logged in, with NO usb devices installed.  I install a USB 
drive and nothing.  The light does not come on on the USB drive. Nothing 
new is shown with 'ls /dev/'  No sda etc.

I powered off and tried again.  Same behaviour.  I plugged in a USB 
keyboard and that got recognized and I was able to login on the monitor 
console.

But still no recognition of the USB drive.

So I started a timer to see what was going to happen.  While waiting the 
following appeared on the serial console:

[  898.271682] dnf (1081) used greatest stack depth: 3840 bytes left

I am assuming this is not important, but passing it along.

Finally after 45 minutes I get:

[ 3133.396767] usb 4-1: USB disconnect, device number 2

on the serial console, and the keyboard is unresponsive.  A check with 
journalctl produced:

Feb 19 10:57:47 localhost.localdomain kernel: usb 4-1: USB disconnect, 
device number 2
Feb 19 10:57:47 localhost.localdomain systemd-udevd[423]: error opening 
USB device 'descriptors' file


So Minimal has the problem, as one would suspect.  I wonder if the 
problem is my Cubietruck; USB drive not even registering is worrisome.  
I will try F21 on it to see.  I only have the one CT to test wtih, but I 
have one Cubieboard2.  I am building an SD card to test on it.  Will 
have that testing information in a while.
