Hello,

Last weekend already the 4.8 kernel landed in Factory. Since then we
have a usable JeOS-raspberrypi2 image in openSUSE:Factory:ARM.

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory:ARM/JeOS-raspberrypi2

These images have not been published yet, so you will need to download
them from OBS (build.opensuse.org) rather than download.opensuse.org.

For that reason the Wiki couldn't be updated with new instructions yet.
https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi2

Known issues:
* The GRUB menu is only shown on HDMI, not on serial. Workaround: Attach
a monitor for the first boot, then edit /etc/default/grub replacing
GRUB_TERMINAL="gfxterm" with GRUB_TERMINAL="console" and run
`update-bootloader` (or `grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg`).
* Downstream kernels booted through GRUB might get a random MAC address.
Workaround: edit GRUB menu entry or create a boot.scr script.

The old images in devel:ARM:Factory:Contrib:RaspberryPi2 and :Staging
will stay around for now, but you are encouraged to use the official
image for new installations and, if needed, install only kernel-rpi2 and
dtb-bcm2709 packages from the Contrib projects. Therefore please report
success or problems with the new raspberrypi2 image. Thanks.

Have a lot of fun,

Andreas

P.S. The 4.8 arm64 kernel has been tested to work on the Raspberry Pi 3
but U-Boot is looking for the .dtb file in the wrong place, breaking
automatic boot. Therefore no official image yet. Workaround: symlink or
`load mmc 0:2 $fdt_addr_r boot/dtb/broadcom/$fdtfile; boot`
