That was exciting! :-/

Ran a 'yum update' on my Banana Pi firewall this morning and ended up with an unbootable system. (The previous kernel wouldn't boot either.) I ended up copying my entire SD card, installing the latest image, growing the / partition, and copying the old root filesystem over. Ultimately, I was able to get everything up and running. This system was originally installed with CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Minimal-1611-BananaPi.img.xz. I'm mainly wondering if this was expected. If so, did I miss the warnings? If not, I do still have the dump of the unbootable post- upgrade SD card sitting around, if anyone who understands the boot process on these things wants to investigate. Either way, thanks for all the work that you all do! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com -------- "I grew up before Mark Zuckerberg invented friendship" -------- ========================================================================

Fwd: ARM64 CentOS AltArch release 7.5
by Frederik Lotter 01 Jun '18

Hi, I have two questions: > (1) In 7.3 CentOS released a rootfs tar for ARM64. I can no longer find this under the 7.5 release. Furthermore, I could also not find anything on the ISO that seems rootfs-like in any near complete state. The closest was the LiveOS/rootfs.img, but it seems this is not a complete fs as yum is missing components, for example. > > So my question is: Is there any way to still use CentOS releases on new ARM64 development environments (without EFI boot support)? I have sent this to the wrong mailing list and I see that 7.5 rootfs images are on their way. However, is there any change on the status of this? (2) In terms of UEFI firmware support in the ARM64 world (e.g. EDKII vs Uboot), is there any officially supported solution for CentOS, or do you simply support whatever supports the UEFI interface? Regards, Fred
