Updated the Raspberry Pi to kernel 3.9.9, and everything seems to work OK..<\/p>\n
Pidora 18 (Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix)<\/strong> I have been using the ‘official’ Fedora ARM repository for updates, but now it seems that Fedora 18 is the last version that will support the armv5tel<\/strong> version..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fedora 19 and beyond are armv7hl<\/strong> only, which does not support the Pi CPU..<\/p>\n So..\u00a0 I tried Pidora<\/em><\/strong>, in the hope that this would provide a way forward…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I got the base install running OK, but this is a non-standard armv6hl<\/strong> version, which is only available from Pidora.\u00a0\u00a0 This would be OK, but their versions of apps are somewhat ‘out of date’, and the Pidora YUM repository has been 404 for days now..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This seems to be a recurring problem, judging by posts on various forums..<\/p>\n So now…\u00a0 I will be going back to my original F18 armv5tel version, which will – at least – still get updates, until the release of Fedora 20, when it will be officially EOL (E<\/strong>nd O<\/strong>f L<\/strong>ife).<\/p>\n Update:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 The Pidora repositories appeared online again, but yum<\/strong> just hung – repeatedly – after –> Finished Dependency Resolution,<\/strong><\/em> <\/strong>despite running # yum clean all<\/strong>, and (manually!) reinstalling it…\u00a0\u00a0 Not impressed..<\/p>\n Hopefully Pidora will overcome their problems, and eventually provide support for F19 and beyond..<\/p>\n Robert Gadsdon..\u00a0 July 18, 2013<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Updated the Raspberry Pi to kernel 3.9.9, and everything seems to work OK..
