[fedora-arm] Re: Fedora 36 ARM Issues on Startup

It would seem there are many different documentation locations for ARM which I am trying to figure out which one is canonical.

These two seem to differ:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Installation (One I tried first.)

then this one

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/iot/physical-device-setup/

Which one is the correct one?

I will try that image out shortly.

Download the raw image from the following link and repeat what you've
done and I think you should be good:
