Description Alessio 2019-03-07 09:37:15 UTC
I don't know if dracut is the right component.

However I'm unable to boot aarch64 image on a Raspberry Pi 3
I've tested Fedora-Minimal-30-20190301.n.0.aarch64.raw.xz and the boot process hangs here:

Comment 1 Paul Whalen 2019-03-07 14:27:59 UTC
The aarch64 disk images are currently being created with host-only initramfs, despite having dracut-config-generic installed. From the logs:

dracut -H --persistent-policy by-uuid -f /boot/initramfs-5.0.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc30.aarch64.img 5.0.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc30.aarch64

Javier was able to track this down in anaconda and submitted a PR to fix it:

Comment 2 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2019-03-07 14:29:47 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 30-beta by Fedora user pbrobinson using the blocker tracking app because:

 Raspberry Pi is a blocking device but this actually affects all ARM and aarch64 devices booting UEFI

Comment 3 Peter Robinson 2019-03-07 14:30:40 UTC
PR for fix in anaconda upstream https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/1873
