Description Paul Whalen 2021-02-16 17:50:07 UTC 
1. Please describe the problem:

Attempting to boot 5.11 kernels in qemu on armhfp fails with no output from the kernel. 

2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:

5.11.rcX including the GA - 5.11.0-155.fc34

3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :

5.10 kernels boot fine. 

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:

Using an armhfp F33 uefi enabled disk image, upgrade to 5.11 kernel

5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:

Yes. 

6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:

No. 

7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

Upstream fix:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg876547.html

For F-34 it's fixed by the explicit config changes, tested and it's in kernel-5.11.0-156.fc34. There will be a little more review and a PR will be done for rawhide in the next day or so.
Comment 3 Peter Robinson 2021-02-17 11:22:40 UTC 
rawhide PR: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/895

Now built for F-34
