I see. Thanks to David and Robert as well. >> I think this respin concept is not a good idea, I see rotting one-off >> "respins" including one from Feb for Cubieboard.

I should be happy with upstream kernel if it can boot and do network and usb, which it seems it should. There's a pile of slightly different "appliances" at the rawhide link from the wiki page. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?state=all&view=tree&method=appliance&order=-id I grabbed the image here http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7272277 since it mentioned hardfloat and "Minimal". I'm extracting it to a spare SD Card and will try to get a boot by hand on a second cubieboard 2, rather than mess with the rootfs on the main one I'll try to just transplant the /boot pieces if they work on the test one. The 3.4 stuff it shipped with doesn't obviously have a separate dtb so it might take some meddling. Thanks for putting me in the right direction. -Andy >[1] >https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Rawhide/Installation
