Hey all,

First time trying to setup my cubietruck/cubieboard3. I used
fedora-arm-installer[1] to fill in an 8GB sd card on my host machine, using
Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-21-5-sda.raw.xz.

Did you include

--target=Cubietruck

on the installer script command?  (case insensitive, ir you read the script)

I have run this successfully on my Cubietruck and Cubieboard2 (I sent in a script change to support the C2, don't know if it has been rolled in).

Though I am now working with F22 Alpha to get video support.

Pop it into my cubietruck, connect via serial console, start it up. Machine
passes uboot fine and boots the initrd, but eventually fails waiting for the
root mount point to show up, and falls back to dracut.

Mount the card on your host system and see that you get the __boot and __ partitions. Perhaps there is something wrong with your card install step. After I build an SD card, I use gparted to increase the __ partition to max size for the card. The I pull out the card from my host system. I would like to see this step automated in the script.

Comparing my boot output to kashyap's[2], my machine has all the same messages
referencing 'mmc1', but there's nothing about mmc0. mmcblk0 never shows up, so
the boot fails after a timeout.

So I populated a SATA drive in the same way as above, hooked that to the
cubietruck, and it boots successfully. But I still can't access the sdcard
from fedora. The only thing under /sys/block is sda. Tried removing and
re-inserting the sunxi_mmc module, doesn't seem to help. Tried another sd
card, didn't make a difference.

I updated the kernel on the sdcard (by updating /boot on the sata drive,
sticking the sdcard in a USB adapter, rsyncing the contents), booted into the
latest lpae kernel, but still the sdcard isn't detected.

Anyone have any ideas? Googling didn't turn up anything.

If not, is it possible to make the cubietruck boot directly off the sata
drive? Doesn't seem to work for me, but if I can make that work I don't need
to worry about the sdcard.

Thanks,
Cole
