Hi,
-----Original Message----- From: Freek de Kruijf <freek@opensuse.org> Sent: 27 October 2020 20:47 To: Mailinglist openSUSE ARM <opensuse-arm@opensuse.org> Subject: [opensuse-arm] Extremely slow boot of raspberry pi 4 images
I tried the newest XFCE Raspberry Pi 4 images for openSUSE Leap 15.2 and Tumbleweed. Both are extremely slow to start. I did not have enough patience for Leap 15.2 to see it finish with a log screen, so abandoned that test and continued with the test of Tumbleweed.
There are several error messages during the boot process to explain why it takes so long, but even loading the final linux image takes minutes.
RPi4 is now tested in openQA: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1451651 And there is no such problem. Could you try another uSD card, and/or another RPi4, maybe? Cheers, Guillaume
Below is what I did catch during the start of the boot process:

Please press 't' to show the boot menu on this console error: file `/boot/grub2/locale/nl.gmo' not found. -------------------
This is the first reboot after the initial boot of the system and after making some configuration changes in that system. O.a. the default language to be nl_NL.
I needed at least 30 minutes to get to the GRUB screen. It looks as if the clock is very slow. On the GRUB screen 10s appeared, which is the initial count down time, but this time is very slowly decreasing. About 5 minutes per second. The USB keyboard does nothing. I finally tried the keyboard on the serial port which started loading the openSUSE image.
After 2 hours I got the login screen of XFCE.
