Hi all,
I want to run openSUSE Tumbleweed on a new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+.
Using the aarch64 DVD Image (Snapshot 20200528) stored on a USB stick, I boot the Pi3 and go through the motions of installing the Server role onto a blank SD card in the mmc slot. The installation completes normally, except that it fails to reboot properly afterwards. (It hangs with a black screen showing just the mouse pointer, and the pointer still moves according to mouse movement.)
After powering down, removing the USB stick, and powering on, the Pi3 completely refuses to boot. It doesn't even show the "rainbow screen" before boot. Seems quite dead, actually.
If you don't see a rainbow screen, that means that the system is not able to find the bootcode.bin
Can you double check that the file is on your SD card?
You didn't say where I'm supposed to find it, but I assume it's meant to be in the boot partition (i.e., the first vfat partition)? This is what it looks like: # mount -o ro /dev/sdn1 /mnt # ls -R /mnt /mnt: EFI /mnt/EFI: BOOT /mnt/EFI/BOOT: BOOTAA64.EFI grub.cfg
My take on this: It seems you changed the FW of the RPi3 to boot from USB and therefore it just does that. You will have to change that so that the FW expects the system to be found on a SD card.
Like I said, it's a brand new RPi3, and I didn't do anything with it except try to install Tumbleweed. In fact, I never did anything with the firmware on any on my Raspberry Pis, because so far I never had to. Can you give me a hint on how to change the FW so that it boots from the SD card?
Can someone explain this behaviour? Is my Pi3 broken, or should I file a bug?
It's still not clear to me whether this is a bug in the Tumbleweed installer, or a problem with my Pi3. Regards, Olav -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
