Hello Folks,

OpenSuSe Arm Team http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:ARM
released new PI 13.1 OpenSuSE http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Raspberry_PiMilestone Image.

"Feel free to join the openSUSE ARM mailing list http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm/ as well as the #openSUSE-arm IRC [url]irc://irc.freenode.net/opensuse-arm[/url]channel for questions or help. We are also actively looking for people to enable hardware we don't support yet. If you have an armv7 based device that doesn't work yet and are willing to spend some time to get it working with openSUSE, please contact us on the mailing list. "

Install : Same Way as other rasp Images , using DD or i.e w32diskimager

Linux DD Install i.e:

Code: Select all

dd bs=1M if=raspberrypi-opensuse-20131206x.img of=/dev/sdb

Image Login :

user : root
passwd : linux


SD card resize :
- 1 remove swap sd card slice 2

Code: Select all

# vi /etc/fstab, comment out the swap line

# swapoff /dev/mmcblk0p2
# fdisk  /dev/mmcblk0
d 2
w

- 2 resize root manualy

Code: Select all

 
#  yast2 
goto  system , partitioner
 ( see docu http://de.opensuse.org/YaST_Module_Partitionierer )

edit the  size to what you like .. i.e 10GB

# reboot 

after relogin as root :

# resize2fs /dev/mmclk0p3
(see http://linux.die.net/man/8/resize2fs)
 

- 3 add swap 2GB

Code: Select all

# swapoff /dev/mmcblk0p2
# fdisk  /dev/mmcblk0
p
n
4
start cylinder +1 from the p2
end cylinder +?GB      , swap size you want i.e 2GB 
w

# mkswap /dev/mmcblk0p4
# swapon /dev/mmcblk0p4
# vi /etc/fstab, comment in the swap line

Install vi or joe comandline editor

reason : Per default the Images sems are smal as possible.

Code: Select all

zypper install vi

Install openssh

without yast,
 you would edit :
1. /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 

BOOTPROTO='static'
IPADDR='192.168.0.123/24'
STARTMODE='auto'

2 .  vi /etc/sysconfig/network/routes 

default 192.168.0.1 - -

3. vi /etc/resolv.conf

10.1.1.2 raspSuSE1.net-dummy.org raspSuSE1

5. vi /etc/hostname

Issues knownfrom test Images :
DO NOT Use SD cards bigger then 16GB , with kernel 3.1.10.x seems too old for that.


ps: Thanks to Eben to open this OS Folder

Great that it is all in one place. The issue I have is having a fully functioning YAST-GUI, a IceWM DE with more software pre-installed for newbies

[dlachausse]

Why such an old kernel? Is there a technical limitation requiring it?

The reason I ask is that I have a 32GB SD card that I want to try OpenSUSE on. When you say it won't work do you mean it won't work at all, or that it will treat it like a 16 GB card?

Thanks.

I had serveral SD card Corruped with use 32G / 64G Cards due the Old kernel.
Due that i stop trying that with the 3.1.x kernel - too expensive for my Project.

Thats why i wrote the warning currently not use bigger cards .

Maybe this changes with future releases , lets see what Bernhard may gives to with the next Images.

Try formating the corrupted cards to how they was before the corruption.

[bmwiedemann]

please note that our armv5 repo has moved to
http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv ... /repo/oss/
so you need to do
zypper rr OLDREPOID
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv ... /repo/oss/ oss

until I find time to update my image accordingly

That format the 32G / 64G card not help when an kernel driver Coorupts the Filesystem any time due missing SHDX kernel support at the opensuse 3.1.x kernel.

Debian and Fedora on the same card works - due has an patched kernel support for those SD cards+32GB.
Make an Diff of the .config from debian and suse kernels and you´ll see what i mean here.

Bernhard been hardy working to get the raspberrypi Image ready for the 3.6.11/3.7x kernel at Current.
The Current Image ( raspberrypi--20130401.img ) not fully ready yet for use.
It contains an few Easter Eggs
I.e mkinitrd failed fully with 3.6.11-0-raspberrypi and -3.7.6-2-versatile .
.. be fixed soo as he find time ..

Where is a correctly working image?

i found this openSUSE-Factory-ARM-JeOS-raspberrypi.armv7l-1.12.1-Build10.3.raw.xz and this raspberrypi-opensuse-20130401.img.gz but nothing working. With first image raspberry just don't boot, with the second nothing correct write to sd card.

Dear EvgeniyMakhmudov,

Please read the New Article : http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 53#p331953

This kernel hack FIXed the SHDC / SHDX kernel issues on OpenSuSE 12.3

I am Not Forum Admin for the OpenSuSE part , so i can NOT edit my own older Article.
