Failure of services on Fedora-IoT rootfs

Project Discussion

Hello,

We are working on Imx8 NXP board and trying to port Fedora-IOT on the same.

We have extracted the Fedora-IOT rootfs from the raw image Fedora provides for Rpi3 board. We are able to up the NXP-imx8 board with Fedora-IoT rootfs.

Below mentioned services are failing for us:

  1. [FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
  2. [FAILED] Failed to start Network Name Resolution.
  3. [FAILED] Failed to start Modem Manager.
  4. [FAILED] Failed to start NTP client/server.
  5. [FAILED] Failed to start D-Bus System Message Bus.
  6. [FAILED] Failed to start Mark boot as successful in grubenv.
  7. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Multi-User System.
  8. [FAILED] Failed to start Home Area Manager.
  9. [FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Module drm.
    10.[FAILED] Failed to start Network Manager.

Could you please guide us how we can resolve this?

Regards.

@saurav19pandya How did you boot? A number of your questions in this, and other forums, suggest you’re not actually booting the board with this filesystem.

Hi @jcm,

We have created the tmp directory in the /root and after that all the services are working fine now.

[root@localhost ~]# ostree admin status

[root@localhost ~]# rpm-ostree status
error: This system was not booted via libostree; cannot operate

**Workaround **
[root@localhost ~]# touch /run/ostree-booted
[root@localhost ~]# ostree admin status
error: loading sysroot: Unexpected state: /run/ostree-booted found and in / sysroot, but bootloader entry not found

Why this ostree admin status fails after touch /run/ostree-booted?

Regards.
