http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1178293 Bug ID: 1178293 Summary: Extreme slow boot on Raspberry Pi 4B using Tumbleweed Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: aarch64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: freek@opensuse.org QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- 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. Later I tried also the JeOS images from Snapshot20200918 and Snapshot20201022 and they behave the same. 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. Below is what I did catch during the start of the boot process: ------------------- U-Boot 2020.04 (Aug 09 2020 - 19:41:12 +0000) DRAM: 3.9 GiB RPI 4 Model B (0xc03112) MMC: mmcnr@7e300000: 1, emmc2@7e340000: 0 Loading Environment from FAT... *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment In: serial Out: vidconsole Err: vidconsole Net: eth0: ethernet@7d580000 PCIe BRCM: link up, 5.0 Gbps x1 (SSC) starting USB...

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. After that the system behaved like it should. The problem is the length of the boot process, which takes hours, also a reboot. The RPi4 is not the problem, because Raspbian boots very fast. It is also not the uSD, I used the same uSD for the Raspbian and the openSUSE image. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
