The latest version for testing is currently Rawhide 2024-02-10
See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_40_Rawhide_20240210.n.1_…
Please, we need some more tester!
Local DVD Installation
======================
I noticed:
- The initial menu (with Install.. Test… ) the frame is completely offset to the right, not centered.
- Keyboard does not react or reacts very slowly to the Enter key to select an action before the default waiting time has elapsed
- Error messages appear when booting after the media test:
* [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata: please update microcode to version 0x20 (or later)
* overlayfs: failed to resolve '/run/overlayfs': -2
Everything worked fine nevertheless, bug is at least ugly
- In the menu for selecting the country option, keyboard control initially works very slowly and without visual feedback as to which item is currently active. Mouse works fine.
- Bei Custom Partitionierung hält Anaconda nicht die Reihenfolge ein, in der die Partitionen erzeugt werden. Das führt zu Problemen, wenn man später die Partitionieren anpassen will / muss.
- The LVM /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices device file is obviously created correctly in connection with the installation and adapted to the target machine (in this case with the RAIDs). And is therefore present.
- Post installation tasks, everything worked well
These items are not severe issues but should get improved for a polished release.
Adding virtualization support
=============================
Everything went fine. But we get a lot of superfluous stuff installed, e.g. libwayland-server or spice-server and audio stuff.
I suppose, Cockpit is the culprit again, but have to check it in detail.
Instantiation of VMs
====================
Everything went fine. The LVM device file is correct, also probably not during instantiation, but part of the image. I have yet to check that.
Aarch64 SBC
===========
The installation issue on server host is still existing.

I tried with latest rawhide 20240210.
It does not work out of the box yet. I got the same error messages.
I tried fix 2 as provided by David Teigland and added the target device temporarily with
lvmdevices —adddev /dev/mmcblk0
Before executing arm-image-installer. That works fine. A
lvmdevices —deldev /dev/mmcblk0
restores the original configuration nicely.
I also gave the other fix proposal, adding —-devices /dev/foo, to each vg* command a short try, but endet with a 'No command with matching syntax recognised.“ Obviously the script logic is a bit more complex than I realized at first short glance.
@pwhalen Please, could you test this variant? Or send me a valid patch for version 3.9 so that I can test it?
