Right ? I am seeing this issue only on HiFive Unleashed + Microsemi Expansion board with Fedora Gnome desktop image. I can even boot a Fedora developer image on same hardware and a busybox image in Unleashed without any issues. But the issue is not specific to fedora as we see the same issue in OpenEmbedded disk image as well (HiFive Unleashed + Microsemi Expansion board).
