Created attachment 1273143 [details] Loop with errors from dracut Description of problem: I used Fedora Media Writer to burn the image on my sandidsk usb 3.0 cruzer glide 16gb usb stick, I booted it with my raspberry pi 3. LXQT didn't even started, so I followed steps from raspberry pi 3 official website to allow raspberry boot from usb. (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/msd.md) So, after that I could boot up my usb stick. But a lot of messages was displayed on the Fedora initialization (look at attachment) And after that, Fedora ARM enters the emergency mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F26 Alpha 1.7 ARM LXQT Fedora-LXQt-armhfp-26_Alpha-1.7-sda.raw.xz How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download Fedora-LXQt-armhfp-26_Alpha-1.7-sda.raw.xz from getfedora.org 2. Burn on usb stick with Fedora Media Writer 3. Boot from usb stick on raspberry pi 3 (to enable boot on raspberry pi 3 you have to append program_usb_boot_mode=1 to /boot/config.txt and reboot raspberry with an sd card with already installed raspbian official distro to changes on the firmware be applyied) Actual results: Emergency mode Expected results: LXQT started Additional info:
Created attachment 1273144 [details] At last, emergency mode.
I want to state that I used usb stick because I can't burn the image on my sd card for the same problem of this bug #1443981
Hmm, I don't think this is a problem of Fedora Media Writer. FMW just takes the data it gets and writes it to the target drive. Please consult the official Fedora ARM documentation on how to boot Fedora images from a USB drive on Raspberry Pi. From what I've read now, it's not mentioned anywhere, so I'm not sure it's a supported use-case with the current releases.
I can boot from USB drive. I know how to boot from usb drive on RPi3. it boots the kernel and after a long time waiting and a lot of debug messages it enters in emergency. Take a look on my screenshots attached. If it is not an FMW problem, assign this issue to someone that can fix this. Thanks
If writing the image by dd to the USB drive works and writing it by FMW doesn't, it's indeed a FMW problem. If it doesn't, I can't do much about it. Honestly, I don't know who to contact. I suggest you contact the Fedora ARM mailing list (arm.org) and consult the further approach there.
Since there's not more information provided and the bug is most likely not related to mediawriter, closing.
