RE: [opensuse-arm] Multiple distro system

Hi, IIRC, grub2.04 requires a recent armv7 kernel because it needs a proper EFI boot. So, Leap 15.1 will probably not boot with grub2.04 from Tumbleweed. So, I would suggest to use grub2.02 from Leap 15.1, if you want to boot multiple distros. Then, os-prober should be able to detect other OS. If your plan is to use Tumbleweed and Leap 15.2, grub2.04 will be fine. Cheers, Guillaume

Dear all,

I have been running a cubox-i with Leap since several years, booting it from an eSATA HD (at the moment I have a Tumbleweed SD in my cubox-i with the only task to launch uBoot that, in turn launches GRUB on the HD). My HD contains an EFI primary partition, a / primary partition, an extended partition (that in turn contains a SWAP logical partition, an empty ext4 logical partition and some spare space), and finally a primary /home partition. I would like to install (onto logical partitions) other distros tailored for cubox-i side by side with Leap, which should remain the default OS. Can you suggest the best approach to accomplish that?

Thank you in advance. Kind regards
