So, I was able to install Fedora on the Pinebook Pro following the blog
post https://nullr0ute.com/2021/05/fedora-on-the-pinebook-pro/
The only difference is that I was unable to boot the installer from an
USB stick, and I used dd to copy the content of the SD card to eMMC.
The only annoying problem that I'm facing is that I can't reboot the
Pinebook. I can reboot, sure, indeed, connecting through the serial
port, the system actually reboot, but the video becomes black with some
horizontal lines [1].
Powering off the system, then on, the screen is ok.
What could it be?

(sorry for the bad quality, but you can see these lines in the center
of the display).
Thanks,

Interesting, what Fedora release did you install and what kernel version ?
Could you please share your complete boot log on the reboot where the
display is blank ?
Best regards,
Javier

Just in case, this happens to me as well using Manjaro since day 1. As a
workaround, I always power it down then power it on again :(

But the same behavior was here also with previous versions.

I've seen similar, but not quite the same issue. Basically mine gets
stuck at some part of U-Boot and doesn't proceed to continue to boot.
I believe it's a bug somewhere in the firmware but I've not had time
to debug it. I suspect basically some device doesn't get reset
properly by the firmware on reboot and so causes issues actually
booting.
It's one of the things on my todo list to investigate but I've not had
the time to dig into it as yet.

Thanks for the information. I tried to reproduce it on a Rockpro64
board but rebooted correctly and the video is working fine.
This is with kernel 5.13.0-58.fc35.aarch64
But the same behavior was here also with previous versions.

Yes, this is OK. Could you please also share the boot log after a cold
reboot when it is working so we can compare if there's something
different ?
Best regards,

Ok. Thanks.

Thanks, I don't see anything noticeable different in the two boot logs.
I noticed though that you are stil using fbcon=map:1 in your kernel
cmdline. Could you please try removing it ?
Because we don't need this anymore now that the rockchipdrm takes over
the framebuffer, so I think that may be the case that you are trying
to map the framebuffer console to an non-existent fb 1.

Thank you. But also removing it, the issue remains.

I used to see this quite frequently with my Debian install (Daniel
Thompson's installer[1] and kernel[2]) To me it looks like the video
readout is misconfigured and the framebuffer is smeared vertically, so
the lines you see are the logo and boot spinner.

Certainly sounds like it. Like Eduardo, I worked around by forcing the
system off and then booting from that state.
I only recently installed fedora 34 and I haven't seen the horizontal
lines, but I also have trouble rebooting. The screen blanks, but the
machine seems to hang instead of rebooting, and I have to force it off
by holding down the power key for 5-10 seconds.
Cheers,
Ralph
