= Pidora Compose on x86_64 =
== Notes ==
* Create a fedora arm virtual machine
* Create a custom pidora image based on the pidora 2014 build packages
* Custom kickstart file
* Requires old packages of anaconda(anaconda-17.29-1.fc17) and lorax(lorax-17.17-1.fc17)
* Let us know if you get this working with newest packages ^

== Process ==
# Install a virtual machine setup on fedora including virt-manager
# Download a fedora arm image: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/20/Images/armhfp/
# Copy out the boot files from the image: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/20/Images/armhfp/
# Create a new virtual machine with virt-manager
* Choose the arm architecture
* Use the vexpress-a15
* kernel: /directory_to_extracted_files/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.10-301.fc20.armv7hl
* Initrd: /directory_to_extracted_files/boot/uInitrd-3.11.10-301.fc20.armv7hl


* DTB: /directory_to_extracted_files/boot/dtb-3.11.10-301.fc20.armv7hl/vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1.dtb

* Kernel args: console=ttyAMA0 rw root=/dev/vda3 rootwait
* ram should be at least than 1.2GB(I tested with 2GB)
* Only use 1 cpu or it crashes(I don't know why...)
# Expand image or add extra space. You will need disk space equal to (pidora composed image size * 2) + pidora chroot size. I used about 20 GB, was enough for multiple composes.
