I don't think it is the proper way to use a serial cable to test images for 
the Raspberry Pi 1. There used to be, and still is, an image that, when the 
RPi1 was connected to a HDMI device, showed the booting procedure right from 
the start. I am not capable to debug anything that has to do with the basic 
booting. So a serial cable is a no go for me.

I am not blaming anybody. I sit silently till a new image arrives, I test it 
as far as I find useful and report my findings. I do not expect anything from 
anybody. I am still able to build a Raspberry Pi 1 and 2 system with openSUSE 
Tumbleweed from older images that suite my needs.

I am not a user of IRC.

I appreciate all your efforts regarding ARM systems and openSUSE. My 
contribution is described above and is all I am able, and maybe willing, to 
do. I have both a spare RPi1B and RPi2B to perform tests. My learning skills 
are small, so I don't see myself able to learn to work with OBS, except when 
there is just a cookbook instruction which does not asks me to learn anything, 
just doing.
