So I'll probably sign/release that kernel in the updates dir, but it the previous image doesn't even boot, that means we need to generate an updated one that would support both rpi2/rpi3/rpi3b+ and not wait for 7.5.18xx release, as I guess some people will try to use the rpi3B+ model before that :) (as you just did) Have you tested that wifi works ? For irc, yes, we have #centos-arm .. :-) PS : I have ordered myself a pi3b+ board that should arrive next week to also test it. -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
