***** Update ***** I now have the system booting into graphical mode. Here's what I found out in the process: I use the process as stated above on the stock Fedora 24 Mate Spin (kernel 4.5.5-300) to build the system. However, on the "append" line of /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf, you do NOT need all the "dracut" parameters required to build the initramfs. Rather, my append line simply looks like the following: append ro root=UUID=4d70d307-a61d-4cda-9535-8a8849c262c2 cma=64M That's it. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
