Found I had an error on writing u-boot so corrected that and after next
boot attempt found that a
__/var/log/journal/a1a25eeb66844538a8c8a85672fcaf38/system.journal file
of 8MB had been written. Looks like I have had a boot.
Bit clumsy trying to read this file but in among the gobblydegook it was
looking good and then (apologies for the long text):

A few service went into failed state from this but maybe all due to not
logging in?
Anyone have any clues for what I might be able to edit in the fs on the
card before a next boot attempt?
Thanks for your patience.

No wireless connection being made as evidenced by nmap.

You don't mention what your device is but a change in the .dtb
won't
fix the lack of display, there's a complete lack of driver,
Yes my wording could have been better.
Changing the .dtb was only about getting the device to boot as I
realise hdmi is not yet ready.
The device is a Rikomagic MK802II. Booting it headless with 3.17
is my aim but the soldering job for a serial console is a
challenge beyond my soldering skills - see
http://www.rikomagic.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2488
so am hoping some-one with a compatible device such as Mele
A1000 or CB1 could develop an image. A howto for the build and
to get wireless configured for an ssh connection is an alternative.
You could just try booting without serial console if you provide
--norootpass on building the SD card. SSHD permits logging in
as root, just don't do this on the Internet, as you are sitting
wide open!
I think I would need to manually configure and select my local
network SSID and passphrase to get it on the network so I can ssh
to it. A new world for me under systemd.
After first boot, you can see what interface name it used, the
create an appropriate ifcfg- file. They still work.
Thinking about the firstboot script the only really needed things
it does is set the timezone and root password. You can add your
user after logging in as root.
I would suspect that if no serial console, it just comes up as
ready as possible. All you need is your WiFi to be working; that
is a pretty big assumption. You might have to get a supported
ethernet dongle.
As above.
What has happened in booting without a serial console so far?
I am running blind so I either see a new connection open up when I
do an nmap search from my PC or more likely there is no new
connection for the reasons I mention. The real trick is to know if
I have even had a successful boot.
What else are you going to do right now but try?
So on my attempts using Fedora-LXDE-armhfp-21-5-sda.raw.xz written
to the sdcard using the manual instructions here
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F21/Installation
including writing the appropriate u-boot to the media
and setting up wpa using tips from
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WpaSupplicant with edits of
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0
Do you know what ethernet name is being used? Since your WiFi is a
USB dongle, there are a lot of possiblities. All the more reason for
journalctl.
If you know the MAC address you can create:
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="02:c3:04:01:77:c3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="wlan0"
This will 'fix' the name you need for ifcfg-wlan0
I will have ago at this but atm I don't think I am getting far into
the boot. Certainly does not seem to be logging in. Not sure if
networking can be enabled prior to login to allow ssh connection.
I don't believe the boot is getting very far as messages in /var/log
is empty.
No /var/log/messages anymore. It is all journalctl. Look in that
directory.
From my reading on journalctl I have not seen how to view any logs it
may have created. /var/log contains a folder named journal but this is
also empty so maybe same conclusion.
Maybe because I am not yet logged in. Tried setting autologin in
lxdm.conf.
Would not know about lxdm.conf
Yes I have considered using Minimal or xfce instead.
