Hi Daniel,

I have tested Tumbleweed images on chromebook:
* XFCE image works fine
* JeOS image boots but with black screen on 1st boot (do not know why), so you 
need to power-off manually after few minutes (just give time for repartition to 
finish) and 2nd boot is ok.

Hi,

last time I checked, chromebook images, from Leap 15.0 and Tumbleweed, were 
working fine.

I am currently on vacation, so I do not have access to my chromebook. I will 
check next week.

Hi,

I regularly fetch the latest Chromebook JeOS images via

---
osc getbinaries openSUSE:Factory:ARM:Live JeOS:JeOS-chromebook images armv7l
---

and test them on my Chromebook. The images still fail to boot for me
("Starting Kernel", then black screen forever), but since
openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-chromebook.armv7l-2018.07.23-Build1.1 there
are messages that Grub is loading and a splash screen just like on x86_64.

The Leap 15 JeOS image doesn't boot either. It is still unclear to me, why
the Chromebook images fail. I saw U-Boot patches regarding MMC mode and
device tree blob files, not sure whether these are relevant for my issues.

Is somebody out there, who's successfully running the openSUSE armv7l port
on Snow? ChromeOS updates are no longer available for Snow, so running an
alternative OS is more desireable than ever...


Best regards,

--D.
