Hi all,

I want to run openSUSE Tumbleweed on a new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+.

Using the aarch64 DVD Image (Snapshot 20200528) stored on a USB stick,
I boot the Pi3 and go through the motions of installing the Server role
onto a blank SD card in the mmc slot. The installation completes
normally, except that it fails to reboot properly afterwards. (It hangs
with a black screen showing just the mouse pointer, and the pointer
still moves according to mouse movement.)

After powering down, removing the USB stick, and powering on, the Pi3
completely refuses to boot. It doesn't even show the "rainbow screen"
before boot. Seems quite dead, actually.

Oddly, if I reinsert the USB stick with the installation image, the Pi3
boots just fine (and the system works fine, too). In fact, it boots
straight into the installed Tumbleweed system, bypassing the Grub menu
on the USB stick (you know, "Boot from harddisk", "Install", "Upgrade",
etc.), which is also odd.

Can someone explain this behaviour? Is my Pi3 broken, or should I file
a bug?

Is there a way to fix it so that my Pi3 boots without the USB stick?

Regards,
Olav
