Hi Daniel, I have tested Tumbleweed images on chromebook: * XFCE image works fine * JeOS image boots but with black screen on 1st boot (do not know why), so you need to power-off manually after few minutes (just give time for repartition to finish) and 2nd boot is ok.

Hi,

last time I checked, chromebook images, from Leap 15.0 and Tumbleweed, were working fine.

I am currently on vacation, so I do not have access to my chromebook. I will check next week.

Hi,

I regularly fetch the latest Chromebook JeOS images via

--- osc getbinaries openSUSE:Factory:ARM:Live JeOS:JeOS-chromebook images armv7l ---

and test them on my Chromebook. The images still fail to boot for me ("Starting Kernel", then black screen forever), but since openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-chromebook.armv7l-2018.07.23-Build1.1 there are messages that Grub is loading and a splash screen just like on x86_64.

The Leap 15 JeOS image doesn't boot either. It is still unclear to me, why the Chromebook images fail. I saw U-Boot patches regarding MMC mode and device tree blob files, not sure whether these are relevant for my issues.

Is somebody out there, who's successfully running the openSUSE armv7l port on Snow? ChromeOS updates are no longer available for Snow, so running an alternative OS is more desireable than ever...

Best regards,

no luck here. Grub loading, splash screen, then hanging "forever". Tried several different SD cards. Resizing the partions on SD works. Booting and running an Arch Linux ARM from SD works fine (except audio).

If SD is resized, then boot is ok, you just have no display. ;)

Tested 2018.08.13-Build1.1 today, same.

Just to make sure: I have a XE303C12-A01UK, manufacturing date Jan. 2013, ChromeOS version 68.0.3440.87 (latest), Firmware Google_Snow.2695.117.0.

Mine is XE303C12-A01US, from Mar. 2013. ChromeOS version 67.0.3396.87, Firmware Google_Snow.2695.117.0. ChromeOS is updating. Let's check if it is still ok after the update. Guillaume

Yes, it's old ;-)

ChromeOS is updating. Let's check if it is still ok after the update.

With ChromeOS version 68.0.3440.87 (latest), it still works for me with TW and Leap images.

bummer. I connected an USB-to-Ethernet adapter to see, whether the network is alive, but it isn't. Since there's no way to connect some sort of serial console (AFAIK), could I make some setting that will leave logs or debug output on SD? It's really annoying that I can't see anything...
