[fedora-arm] Re: Fedora on ROCK 5 Model B

Hi,

I can confirm this method works fine for Fedora Beta 40. That's great, I
will be able to use standard Fedora 40 next month.

I had to overcome two problems:
- My keyboard behind a USB switch would not work in UEFI, I had to
directly connect it. In Fedora it would work again behind the switch.
- The ACPI/DTB setting needed to be set on "ACPI". "DTB" or "Both" would
not work for me.

Thanks,
Pim
