The good news is, I can boot a stock upstream 64-bit kernel on my RPi3. So almost 2 months later, I finally have a 64-bit distro kernel booting. Next, to upgrade from Ubuntu 17.10 to 18.04 and see if the latest flash-kernel package doesn't have broken u-boot load addresses...https://twitter.com/kees_cook/status/951136859039481856 …

18.04 works, though flash-kernel continued to need tweaks and the shipped u-boot binary has broken address defaults still. Next up: figuring out why the kernel doesn't actually reboot the system when requested...

You could use
@fedora#aarch64 with your Raspberry Pi, we boot with the u-boot uEFI implementation so you get grub2 and everything ;-) and 4.15.x on stable releases, or 4.16 with F-28+1 reply 3 retweets 5 likes -

Haha, so I get to boot with _four_ boot loaders? Owch. :) Do you have a Fedora installer for 64-bit RPi3?

Four? Well... depends on how you define bootloaders ;-) I would class the RPi GPU thing and u-boot as firmware, then grub2... not sure the kernel is a bootloader ;-) (I note uEFI is part of u-boot here) do you want installer or a pre-canned image to dd to a SD card/usb stick?

*sob* I struggle to accept counting u-boot and uEFI together as 1. :) Boot firmware, boot loader, it's all a blur. I mean, I can use the GPU firmware to directly boot a kernel too, so... it's a loader too? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Loading seems to be taking a while.
