F21 aarch64 compose fails when it does not find gcdaa64.efi:

  IOError: nothing matching /var/tmp/lorax.1EY_9N/installroot/boot/efi/EFI/*/gcdaa64.efi in /

This file needs to be added to the grub2-efi package.

  grub2-efi-2.02-0.8.fc21.aarch64


How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

Expected results:

Comment 1 Brian Lane 2014-11-12 23:55:07 UTC 
This should be fixed when builds start working. The current build issue is that there are several modules that aren't supported on aarch64. I tried a simple patch for backtrace but found that usb wasn't working either. I'm not sure if that's something that needs to be enabled for aarch64 or if it just isn't supported in grub.

build.log from a scratch build with backtrace module removed on aarch64:

If I understand correctly, USB is not quite supported on aarch64 yet (kernel driver work is still in progress).  I'm not sure if this is the cause of the error you encountered.

Comment 4 Cole Robinson 2014-11-20 20:57:46 UTC 
I think this is preventing the F21 aarch64 GA media from booting with no user intervention with qemu-system-aarch64 + uefi. I'll confirm it's fixed when the next compose appears
