Thanks Peter. F21 does work much more easily, although I still had to do the DTB
appending thing.
Thanks,
Brian

Does anyone have instructions for getting the stock F20 image to

on a Mirabox?
I’m attempting to use the “Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-20-1-sda.raw.xz”
image on an SD card. I initially tried booting the image as-is, but
it simply hung at “Starting kernel …”. Following some old
instructions in this mailing list for F19 from Jon Masters, I appended
the “armada-370-mirabox.dtb” to the end of the uImage, which gets much further, but stops
at:
[ OK ] Started Show Plymouth Boot Screen.
[ OK ] Reached target Paths.
[ OK ] Reached target Basic System.
[ 203.390737] dracut-initqueue[247]: Warning: Could not boot.
[ 203.432165] dracut-initqueue[247]: Warning: /dev/sdb3 does not
exist
So, it obviously can’t find the real root filesystem, but I don’t know
how to remedy this. Any ideas?
It's missing the usb driver from from the initrd. It may even have been missing the
usb driver entirely in the F-20 GA release as I discovered both issues around the same
time but I don't remember exactly when that was.
So to get it running on F-20 you'd likely need to pull in a newer kernel/dracut and
regenerate the initrd. I've never run F-20 on my Mirabox but it's running F-21
really well so TBH I'd grab the latest
F-21 Beta RC and go with that as it's very solid on the Mirabox.
