I have managed to get oS 13.2 to boot on a cubieboard by doctoring the installation image and transplanting the factory boot loader and kernel into it. Steps are a bit complicated so I made a script[1]. Inputs are the 13.2 and factory installation images, and script constants need version adjustment.
When installing the modified image the system boots, reboots (not something to take for granted...), and at least passes the sanity checks. So far, so good.
Is the 13.2 kernel working on the cubieboard? I couldn't get that one to go, it hangs at "starting kernel", even with a newer boot loader. The 13.2 boot loader is broken and needs a newer version, but that shouldn't affect the kernel directly. Never mind.
I've updated https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:CubieBoard accordingly.
Awesome. Would you be willing to maintain a contrib for 13.2 so that we have a working version? I'd create a repo for you then and you could just copy the current kernel and uboot into it :).

Nice to hear this! I have similar problem with Cubietruck (aka Cubieboard 3). It boots with Factory but not with 13.2. -- Wojciech -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
