F23 Beta testing - pcduino3 nano

[Troy Dawson <tdawson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
I did some testing of f23 beta on my pcduino3 nano.  End result, awesome.

More detailed results:
For all testing, installation was done manually via the
xzcat <image> | dd of=<card>
<mount card>
<cd uboot image dir>,
dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=8

<unmount card>

<put sd card into machine and boot>

Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-23_Beta-1-sda.raw.xz

- Worked great, didn't do too much testing other than network, which worked.

Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-23_Beta-1-sda.raw.xz

- Worked great

- Graphical setup screen / firstboot worked with no problems.

- Graphical desktop worked fine.

- A bit on the sluggish side, but I believe that was due to the sd card I used.

Fedora-Workstation-armhfp-23_Beta-1-sda.raw.xz

- Booted, took a while and then I got a graphical screen with a sad face on it telling me something had gone wrong and I should contact my administrator.

- Left it at that screen for a while (had breakfast) and when I came back the "firstboot" screen was there and I was able to set things up.

- On first bootup, after the firstboot screen, I was able to log in on an alternate screen (Alt-F4) and things looked sorta ok.

- On reboot, things went a little crazy.  I never got a graphical login.  On alternate screens, it felt like my keyboard was haunted, and I was never able to successfully log in.

-- I did notice on reboot it was starting virtualization.  Quite possibly that was the reason for the crazyness.

- Overall, the Workstation build looks like it's for a "real" arm machine, not these small ones.  I'm sure with some tweeking I could get it working on the pcduino, but why.

Troy
