Fedora 22 Alpha for AArch64

The Fedora ARM Team is pleased to announce the release of Fedora 22 Alpha for AArch64, ready to run on your next generation servers. Fedora 22 Alpha is a game-changer for the Fedora Project, and we think you're going to be very pleased with the results.

Highlights in the Fedora 22 Alpha AArch64 Release

Fedora 22 Alpha Server

The Fedora Server flavor is a common base platform that is meant to run featured application stacks, which are produced, tested, and distributed by the Server Working Group. Want to use Fedora as a Web server, file server, database server, or platform for an Infrastructure-as-a-Service? Fedora 22 Alpha Server is for you.

Fedora Server Management Features

The Fedora Server flavor introduces new Server management features aimed at making it easier to install discrete infrastructure services. The Fedora Server introduces three new technologies to handle this task, rolekit, Cockpit, and OpenLMI.

Rolekit is a Role deployment and management toolkit that provides a consistent interface to administrators to install and configure all the packages needed to implement a specific server role. Rolekit is at an early stage of development in Fedora 22.

Cockpit is a user interface for configuring and monitoring your server or servers. It is accessible remotely via a web browser.

OpenLMI is a remote management system built atop DMTF-CIM. Use OpenLMI for scripting management functions across many machines and for querying for capabilities and monitoring for system events.

Domain Controller Server Role

As part of the server role offerings available for Fedora 22, the Server flavor ships with a role deployment mechanism. One of the roles offered in 22 Alpha is the Domain Controller Service.

The Domain Controller Service packages freeIPA's integrated identity and authentication solution for Linux/UNIX networked environments.

A FreeIPA server provides centralized authentication, authorization, and account information by storing data about users, groups, hosts, and other objects necessary to manage the security aspects of a network of computers.

Mirror List

Supported Hardware

  • Applied Micro X-Gene (Mustang)
  • Advanced Micro Devices Opteron A1100 (aka Seattle)

Network Installation

A network installation is the preferred installation method for current Aarch64 hardware targets. In order to begin you will need to setup the installation server, a guide can be found below:

Note
The above docuementation references grubx86.efi, but this is the name for x86_64 EFI grub binaries. The grub binary name on AArch64 systems is grubaa64.efi.

Once configured use the Fedora 22 Alpha AArch64 installation tree below:

Reported Bugs and Known Issues

  • When using an encrypted partition the appropriate console argument must be included on the kernel command line (e.g., for Mustang "console=ttyS0,115200n8" or for Seattle "console=ttyAMA0,115200n8"). Failure to do so will not allow you to enter the passphrase to unlock the encrypted partition. (BZ#1172740).
  • At the end of the installation on a Mustang you may receive an error about removing or adding the 'EFI' boot menu entry. If so, type 'yes' to continue the installation, and once rebooted, interrupt the boot process (press any key) and add a boot menu entry as shown below (BZ#1151571):
