So, thanks to Peter Robinson for providing this FC43 image:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/initial-minimal-fedora-image-for-raspberry-pi-5/163809
I installed it on my 2022 RPI5 and dropped in a copy of the missing
|/etc/sysconfig/kernel file as per Simon de Vlieger's comment lower down
on the same page:|
|<code>|
|# UPDATEDEFAULT specifies if kernel-install should make # new kernels
the default UPDATEDEFAULT=yes # DEFAULTKERNEL specifies the default
kernel package type DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-core </code>|
|I updated the FC43 with a dnf update to the latest Fedora 43 - aarch64
and Copr repo for a64-kernel (owned by pbrobinson).|
|The RPI5 now boot with an updated kernel by default:|
|<code>|
|Linux nas5 6.18.3-200.fc43.aarch64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Jan 2
20:14:24 UTC 2026 aarch64 GNU/Linux </code> which is great.|
|I was able to turn my 5V fan on using:|
|gpioset -z -c gpiochip4 17=1|
|So, things are looking pretty positive for building a headless NAS with
a couple of RAIDed SATA disks. I have a few questions, though.|
|1. Doing init 0 or init 6 does nothing except cause the message 'Excess
arguments.' to appear in the debug/UART console. systemctl reboot works
fine, but should I be worried about that error message?|
|2. The command gpioinfo shows that all the 400 pin header signals have
moved to:|
|gpiochip4 - 54 lines: line 0: unnamed
input line 1: unnamed input
line 2: unnamed input line 3:
unnamed input line 4: unnamed
input line 5: unnamed input
line 6: unnamed input line 7:
unnamed input line 8: unnamed
input line 9: unnamed input
line 10: unnamed input line 11:
unnamed input line 12: unnamed
input line 13: unnamed input
line 14: unnamed input line
15: unnamed input line 16: unnamed
input line 17: unnamed
output consumer="gpioset"|
|etc.|
|The naming of GPIOs seems to be broken. I'm nto sure if this matters at
all. Obviously, my previous commands like this no longer work:|
|gpioset -z -c gpiochip4 GPIO17=1|
|And gpiochip0 has changed to gpiochip4, of course. But the
functionality seems ok.|
|Is the user interface to libgpiod stable, or is it likely to change in
the near future?|
|3. Is booting from an NVMe on the PCIe interface likely to work in the
near future? This would be a great improvement on having to use uSD cards.|
|Anyway, many thanks to those who have worked so hard to get FC43
aarch64 on RPI5 this far.|
