Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2022-03-07 15:49:16 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 36-beta by Fedora user pbrobinson using the blocker tracking app because:

 Raspberry Pi is a blocking device

Comment 2 Geoffrey Marr 2022-03-07 22:03:50 UTC
Discussed during the 2022-03-07 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedBlocker (Beta)" was made as it violates the following criterion:

"All release-blocking images must boot in their supported configurations" for the release-blocking minimal image on the release-blocking 32-bit Raspberry Pi platform.
