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

I downloaded the Fedora-Server-dvd-aarch64-36-1.5.iso and the used the
arm-image-installer to write the install image to a sdcard using the following installation options:

--target=rpi3 --resizefs

I am trying Fedora36 out as the project I have is working fine on the other sdcard I have with Fedora34 on it.

not a GUI.
