you need to power-off manually after few minutes (just give time for
repartition to finish) and 2nd boot is ok. [...]
no luck here. Grub loading, splash screen, then hanging "forever". Tried
several different SD cards. Resizing the partions on SD works. Booting and
running an Arch Linux ARM from SD works fine (except audio).
Tested 2018.08.13-Build1.1 today, same.
Just to make sure: I have a XE303C12-A01UK, manufacturing date Jan. 2013,
ChromeOS version 68.0.3440.87 (latest), Firmware Google_Snow.2695.117.0.
Yes, it's old ;-)

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,
