What release? 15:10:47 alciregi, this is 4.15.4 15:12:01 pbrobinson, you know, I'm a little dumb, but on rawhide just this morning I issued a dnf update, and after a reboot I'm no more able to access via the serial port 15:12:43 alciregi: and ARMv7 or aarch64? I need details.... "doesn't boot on RPi3" isn't useful :-/ 15:13:04 ARMv7 15:13:06 yes 15:13:28 ok, thanks alciregi. I'm updating now.. did it come up on the network? 15:13:43 If you think its meltdown/spectre related try booting with kpti=off 15:14:17 pwhalen, no, the update was successful 15:14:27 that disables the unmap the kernel bit, the spectre bits will basically be disabled if your firmware doesn't ack the smccc/psci calls 15:14:37 those patches have been in the 4.16 release for some time so I suspect that would have been seen earlier 15:15:13 I guess its possible those calls could crash the machine too, particularly if your PSCI implementation is questionable. 15:16:04 jlinton: yep, like https://kernelci.org/boot/id/5a885b9259b5143315b3a4d8/ 15:17:01 #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm. 15:17:14 any other kernel news? 15:17:49 * jsmith has nothing 15:18:08 * pbrobinson either 15:18:22 #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ==== 15:18:28 #info uboot-tools-2018.03-0.5.rc2.fc28 15:18:28 #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1045270 15:18:42 there will be a rc3 incoming some time today 15:18:58 confirmed this fixes Wandboard, thanks pbrobinson. anything else of note? 15:19:36 #info I think most of the devices should be fine as on the current build.
