Fedora rawhide/F40 Kernel 6.7.0.0rc0

[geev03 (George Varghese)]

Fresh install of f39 on Raspberry Pi 400 SBC (wok station) now works.
f40/rawhide (Workstation , Index of /pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Workstation/aarch64/images ) , however, after going through the initial booting fails to display the usual setup screen. x86_64 has no such problems for Rawhide/f40.

Any solution ?

Welcome to Fedora @geev03

There where problems with some raspberry boards:

Some Raspberry Pi boards have no display output on Fedora Server

Problem Some revisions of Raspberry Pi will have no display output when running Fedora 38/39 Server Edition. Cause Server images use the firmware-provided dtb (device tree blob/binary) because the kernel-provided dtb cannot be read from XFS filesystem (used on a Server image). Other images use the kernel-provided dtb because they don’t use XFS. Related Issues Bugzilla report: #2246428 Workarounds The bug can be worked around by booting with nomodeset kernel argument. Fresh install…

Try the nomodset argument as described as workaround on the link above.

Workarounds

The bug can be worked around by booting with nomodeset kernel argument.

Fresh installation

You can add --args "nomodeset" argument to the arm-image-installer, like this:

sudo arm-image-installer --image=</path/to/fedora_image> --target=<RPi_Version> --media=/dev/<sd_card_device> --resizefs --args "nomodeset"

Adjusting an existing system

If your system is already installed and don’t want to reinstall it, you can edit the boot entry in the bootloader. In the bootloader, press Ctrl+e to edit the currently selected boot option, find the kernel line and add nomodeset at the end of the line. Finally, boot the system by pressing Ctrl+x. This modification will only apply to the current boot.

If you want to apply the boot modification permanently, edit /etc/default/grub, add nomodeset to line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=, and then run:

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg
