I removed the suspect SD card from the RPi3 and tested it in my laptop. # hdparm -Tt /dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk0: Timing cached reads: 15750 MB in 2.00 seconds = 7893.74 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 88 MB in 3.05 seconds = 28.82 MB/sec <--- This was 365 kB/sec in the RPi3. It seems t

All, I have also been having trouble booting Rawhide spins on the Odroid XU4.  This has been happening for several weeks now on fresh installs.  System hangs on boot up just after activating USB.  It appears to be having trouble with UDEV stuff, but not certain here. Can anyone confirm my fin

Warning to those testing Rawhide on AArch64, grub2-2.02-23.fc28 will fail on reboot. The package is already fixed in grub2-2.02-24.fc28, to avoid any issues you can install directly from koji[1]. For those with f27-updates-candidate enabled in F27, grub2-2.02-21.fc27 is also broken and fixed w

It is definitely a good idea to check the system journal. If something wrong is recorded there, there are likely many instances logged to cause hours of unexpected delay. I find it better to use ssh to connect to my RPi than to suffer its slow graphics performance. Time information for a 'dnf up

Ive used Kingston SD cards ( class 10's ) in many SBC's and have no speed issues. Im currently using GSkill class 10's, but I think your safe to take the SD card off the table ( unless your specifically getting i/o errors in syslog / dmesg? ). I would be searching your logs for potential hardwar
