The trick with the RPi image really is to synchronize GPT and MBR into a working hybrid GPT setup, just like on Apple Macs. You can also use the "gptsync" tool if you like.
I have no idea what you are talking about above. Should I do anything different?
You need to make sure that the hybrid GPT stays hybrid. An easy tool to do this with is gptsync:
http://sourceforge.net/p/refind/code/ci/master/tree/gptsync/
IIRC gdisk also has a command to create the hybrid MBR entries from GPT. For information on what a hybrid GPT is, check out this web page:

The reason we're using a hybrid GPT is that this was the easiest way to tell kiwi that we need another FAT partition that is not /boot.

Excuse my ignorance. I am always thinking in cookbook procedures and only when strictly needed I get into the technology.
So what you are suggesting is: 1. burn the image on the SD 2. remove the reconfig file 3. run gptsync on the SD 4. use the SD on the RPi and it should work as a headless system?
If you only want it headless, you need to do 1. burn the image on the SD 2. remove the reconfig file 3. use the SD on the RPi (boot at least once!) If you also want to change the partition layout, you need to 4. change the partition layout 5. run gptsync on the SD Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
