I'm not able to do PXE boot on Banana Pi. Initrd, kernel and dtb file are loaded as always and system starts to boot. Then it hangs for a while when systemd reaches target basic system (see screenshot 1). After that I see long list of 
warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts. Finally I got message "could not boot" and "/dev/root does not exist" and dracut shell is shown but for some reason keyboard doesn't work (see screenshot 2).

The vmlinuz is from 2016-04-13 and initrd from 2016-04-21. PXE configuration:
  KERNEL Fedora/24/latest/armhfp/vmlinuz
  INITRD Fedora/24/latest/armhfp/initrd.img
  FDT    Fedora/24/latest/armhfp/dtb/sun7i-a20-bananapi.dtb

Comment 2 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2016-04-22 11:50:08 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 24-beta by Fedora user lbrabec using the blocker tracking app because:

 This bug violates beta criterion: Direct kernel boot - It must be possible to install by booting the installation kernel directly (including via PXE) and correctly specifying a remote source for the installer itself.

Comment 3 Kamil Páral 2016-04-22 13:31:28 UTC
This might be caused by bug 1314092 (the device has 1 GB RAM). Lukas tried booting into text mode and that worked.

Comment 4 Paul Whalen 2016-04-22 19:01:02 UTC
I think this can be closed, we were both able to pxe boot with vnc and text options. Graphical is also working here, but for some reason not for Lukas.
