[fedora-arm] Re: Raspberry Pi 4 / Fedora 32 / Kernel 5.6

Fedora-Workstation-32-20200416.n.0.aarch64.raw.xz

I was not able to see the RPI 4 Model B (0x??????) hex code, it scrolls too fast. How to find it on a running system?

As recommended by other, I will go the minimal-first-way. But I do not know how to add a graphics package group e.g. Gnome?

Appreciate your help.

What image are you using, full file name please.

What revision of the hardware do you have? You should have a line at
the early U-Boot phase that looks something like:
RPI 4 Model B (0xc03111)

I'm interested in the hex values at the end.
