Concentrated on userspace last week. 16:14:08 4.5-rc failed to unpack rootfs. Will investigate this week 16:14:26 ah, ok.. i booted up the seattle yesterday, had issues unpacking the initramfs. i saw you mention it too 16:14:28 so 4.4.2 was broken for f23 16:14:32 I've fixed it 16:14:52 but awaiting a new primary build (it was also broken on 32 bit TI devices) 16:15:21 I should be getting back to looking at aarch64 rawhide kernels in the next day or so 16:15:46 would like tests and reports for 4.5rc5 for currently supported HW 16:16:12 also working to get some new devices enabled RSN but not much point in reporting what until I know their state 16:16:39 anyone done testing on recent (rc4+) on aarch64? 16:16:48 i tested 4.4.2 on highbank last week, did a kernel build.. completed without issue. 16:17:49 Afk, driving 16:18:08 I've tested 4.4.2 on a number of ARMv7 devices but I thought were were mostly still on a64 16:18:08 yes, rc4 on the seattle - http://paste.fedoraproject.org/327428/70171145/ 16:19:58 I put 4.4.2 on our arm builders and we have seen some weird stablity issues.
