Proposing as a blocker for F34, this prevents us from creating a release blocking image (Minimal armhfp). Note the code in anaconda that requires kernel-lpae to be in the package set if available was added in 2013 in response to this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1013015 commit is https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/commit/ffe01087ce10c80c991776c92f30c669c5a50e01 (the logic has been moved/tweaked since but the basic idea is the same). Hi, I am not sure how to fix the issue in the context of the bug 1013015. 1. Is the current behaviour a regression? 2. Should we drop the support for the kernel-lpae package? 3. Should we extend the condition for the installation of the kernel-lpae package? 4. Should we allow to exclude the package kernel-lpae from the installation in a kickstart file? I think perhaps #3, extending the logic to prefer lpae if available but not require it. This would allow us to exclude it in the kickstart(#4) to make disk images that will boot on all hardware. Fixed in a pull request: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3284 +3 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/336 , marking accepted. FEDORA-2021-394fedac1d has been submitted as an update to Fedora 34. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-394fedac1d Just a note, it is necessary to use -kernel-lpae in the %packages section. The -kernel-lpae* option will not work. FEDORA-2021-394fedac1d has been pushed to the Fedora 34 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2021-394fedac1d` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-394fedac1d See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. (In reply to Vendula Poncova from comment #8) > Just a note, it is necessary to use -kernel-lpae in the %packages section. > The -kernel-lpae* option will not work. Thanks Vendula. PR for the kickstart change - https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts/pull-request/802 FEDORA-2021-394fedac1d has been pushed to the Fedora 34 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Description of problem: The 32-bit arm disk images include both kernel and kernel-lpae. Kernel-lpae is usually installed last and the dtb symlink created points to the lpae dtb folder which does not contain all dtb files. This causes a boot failure on some devices. We have attempted to exclude kernel-lpae from the installation by adding "-kernel-lpae*" to the package section but this caused all the images to fail waiting for input: Question Problems in request: missing packages: kernel-lpae Would you like to ignore this and continue with installation? Please respond 'yes' or 'no': Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-34.24.8-1.fc34.armv7hl Expected results: kernel-lpae should not be required for the installation.
