Make sure that cgroups are enabled in your kernel.
Once you have the kernel build you can integrate with the latest userland image.
Somebody on IRC suggested that the Allwinner patches may need
improvement before they could be accepted upstream?
It would be great if that happened, as Fedora only digests upstream kernel.
Otherwise this could be a 3rd party spin like raspi?
I'll take a close look at the kernel patches over the next day
or two. I am set up to cross-compile that, so it is mostly a
question of the required settings for Fedora. Is there a minimum
allowed kernel version? As in, nothing older than 3.xxx? I ask
because I tried a 2.6.34.9 kernel with F17 on my Ionics, and got
lots of errors from udev and systemd.
Also, is there a preferred procedure for bootstrapping initramfs?
I assume the best way is to unpack an existing one, replace any
kernel modules, and repack. I don't see a way to run dracut in
a cross-environment (i.e. from an x86).
