[opensuse-arm] Experiences with Build325.3 for RPi1 and Build315.2 for RPi2
Both have the same problem starting slow. The fix for this is on its way. It takes a bit more than 10 minutes before the RPi1 system really starts the start up process. I could follow this process because I had these systems connected via HDMI to my TV monitor. The set up of RPi1 also takes about 10 minutes. O.a. a new initrd is being build. The start of the RPi2 is repeating itself and never finishes. After the slow start RPi1 end up in a workable state in a headless situation. I can connect via ssh to the system via the Ethernet connection. I tried a zypper up, and as to be expected: Nothing to do. On the RPi1 I updated libstorage6 libstorage-ruby to my own earlier generated versions. After this "yast network" works. I changed nothing in the network configuration. However I add an LLADDR=<MAC address> to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 right after the xzcat process on my desktop. So I know what IP-address the RPi systems get from my DHCP server. After closing down the RPi1 system using "shutdown -r now", the RPi1 system does not boot anymore. There is no output via HDMI anymore. Not even the small messages I saw when booting the freshly made SD card. So I assume the BOOT partition is not properly build. I assume the UEFI partition is not touched in the set up process. The RPi2 system does not work. On my TV monitor the first 3 characters on a line are not displayed. I searched for a solution and found that setting overscan_left and overscan_right in config.txt on the UEFI partition could solve this problem. I tried 16 and 24. It does not seem to have any effect, except when setting these values to 20, in which case the I get a distorted display. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
I can confirm this exact behaviour for Build325.3 with RPi1. Ciao, Michael. Freek de Kruijf wrote:

This was about Build325.3 for RPi1 and Build315.2 for RPi2. Today I found Build315.3 for RPi2. The slow start has gone.
The RPi2 system does not work.
On my TV screen I see that the kernel is loaded, after which the screen is wiped clean. I see the lights of the Ethernet port on and blinking, however after a while, a few minutes, the system starts again, showing messages about the boot process and finally that the kernel is loaded. Build308.3 for RPi2 is the last working system. It lacks however showing console messages about the start process after the kernel is loaded. It shows messages about the boot process, but after the messages about loading the kernel the screen becomes blankand after a while it show the system message and the log in prompt. Is it possible to display the start up of the system, like with the RPi1, where the whole process about repartitioning the SD card is shown and other start up messages? -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
