Hello Andreas,
I can now confirm that the onboard Ethernet for the Odroid-XU4 indeed
does NOT work in F26. Looking at the Odroid hardware model, it looks to
me like the onboard gigabit Ethernet port is tied to the USB3
controller. If so, it makes sense that because USB3 is failing, the
gigabit Ethernet may also fail. I will file an upstream bug report
regarding both the USB3 and onboard Ethernet situation.
Regards,
Stewart

Hello Andreas,
Close. As I am not using the onboard ethernet, I did not test that so
I cannot validate yet whether or not it works. However, I can
validate that the USB3 ports do not work. If I get a chance today
sometime, perhaps I will check the onboard ethernet. As a result,
see my adjustment to line item 2. embedded below.
Regards,
Stewart

Summary of Fedora on Odroid XU4
1. with Kernel 4.6.5-300.fc24 system boots without failure, but
update to newer kernel fails due dracut didn't build suitable intramfs
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1482825
2. newer kernel works only with "cpuidle.off=1" inserted into the
"append" kernel line in the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file, but
all USB3 Hosts failed, no onboard ethernet
2. Fedora 26 released kernels work but the system fails to boot
unless "cpuidle.off=1" is inserted into the "append" kernel line in
the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file. Additionally, the onboard USB3
ports fail.
2. Fedora 26 released kernels work but the system fails to boot
unless "cpuidle.off=1" is inserted into the "append" kernel line in the
/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file. Additionally, the onboard USB3 ports
fail as does the onboard Ethernet port.
3. To boot the system from the eMMC card:
A. The initramfs image file must be rebuilt. The simplest way is to:
a. Boot up using the MicroSD card;
b. Partition the eMMC card such that partition 1 begins on
sector 3072
(Default starting sector from fdisk is 2048). There should
be 4 partitions created;
c. Mount the Fedora image desired to be installed on the eMMC
card;
d. Copy all partition data from the mounted fedora image
partitions (there are 4 for Fedora 26 ARM images) to the appropriate
eMMC partitions;
e. Update the UUID values on what will be the
/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file and /etc/fstab files of the eMMC card;
f. Assuming the eMMC partitions are mounted as such --
mount /dev/mmcblk1p4 /mnt
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt/boot
then perform the following mounts --
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
B. Rebuild the eMMC card's initramfs by executing the following
command:
chroot /mnt dracut --add-drivers='pwrseq_emmc mmc_block'
/boot/initramfs-4.11.8-300.fc26.armv7hl.img 4.11.8-300.fc26.armv7hl
C. Flash the boot information in the header of the eMMC card;
C. Shutdown the system, then remove the MicroSD card;
D. Boot up using the eMMC card.
4. If the system is to be updated using "dnf update", a new
initramfs image must again be generated. This can be done using
steps 1f - B. above using the new initramfs and kernel images
provided by the "dnf update".
----------------------------------------------------------------
Note to the developers/maintainers of dracut:
The kernel modules "pwrseq_emmc" and "mmc_block" should be included
in dracut for the Odroid-XU3 and Odroid-XU4 such that the user need
not have to execute this procedure each time and update to the system
is performed.
Is this correct and complete ?
Andreas
