[Arm-dev] ARM64 installation issue

[Jim Perrin]

Part of this was a kernel issue with usb drivers and detection.

Following the source release of RHELSA, I've rolled back the kernel from
my 4.1rc kernel to the 3.19 based kernel they used. This resolves a few
'known issues' including this one.

I'm hoping to push the new tree live on Monday as beta2.

I do plan to continue offering a 4.x based kernel for AArch64, but it
will be an additional package, somewhat like the centosplus kernel for
x86_64.
