Hello All,
let me first thank all those of you who made the above mentioned image possible. To me, it is the first image since at least October 2016 that ist booting on my rpi3 without any problems. The only thing not working is wifi. But that was to be expected (as it sports kernel 4.9), as Andreas Färber already said on this list.
So, Thank you and keep up the good work.
As most of you may already know it is possible to boot an rpi3 without SD-Card from usb (hdd or thumb drive) directly since August 2016, following the instructions given in the link below:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/msd...
I tried that and it works without problems using Raspbian on both, an hdd and a thumb drive.
Since my rpi3 is now unlocked and able to boot from usb I tried to make it boot with openSUSE using the image in the subject and copying bootcode.bin und start.elf from here
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/next/boot
to /dev/sda1/efi on my usb-hdd and - alternatively - to my usb thumb drive, replacing the original files on it.
To make a long story short: It works! ...sort of (more about that later). It is possible to boot openSUSE-aarch64 on an rpi3 without SD-card directly from usb.
And now we come to the "sort of" part of the boot process.
- Grub2 appears and loads the kernel and initrd - all kinds of boot messages appear about services that were started and targets that were reached.
But then the system hangs indefinitely with the following line:
"A start job is running for dev-sda2.device (xys/no limit)"
I fixed that one last weekend :). The usb driver wasn't included in the initrd: https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/openSUSE:Factory:ARM/JeOS?linkrev=base&rev=517 Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
