#412 aarch64 qcow won't boot when installed from testing tree
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by dustymabe.

The updates tree works fine. The testing tree yields a non-bootable machine with the following message after passing the grub menu:

error: failed to create kernel parameters.

  Failed to boot both default and fallback entries.

Press any key to continue...

After trying again I see:

error: failed to install/update FDT.

Press any key to continue...

The current difference between the updates and testing aarch64 trees is:

I suspect grub is the problem but it will need more testing.


confirmed. I built a tree with only this new grub from updates testing and the aarch64 system fails to boot in the same way as shown above. Here is a link to the image: https://dustymabe.fedorapeople.org/new-grub-aarch64.qcow2

One wrinkle here is https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/853 AKA https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/969

Basically we don't update /boot. This usually shouldn't matter but it's a wrinkle to be aware of.
It'd be useful to know whether you upgraded an existing install, or if you built a fresh qcow2.

fresh install. I think when I was playing around with this updating an existing install did not show the problem.
