Hi, Both the Tumbleweed raspberrypi image and the Contrib raspberrypi, raspberrypi2 and raspberrypi3 images now boot from U-Boot into GRUB.
This feature was already enabled for the raspberrypi3_aarch64 image and until recently had been impacted by the ext4 64bit feature breakage. Now that we have a workaround and are preparing to enable raspberrypi2 in Tumbleweed, it was time to clean this up. I had already been successfully running manually GRUB2-converted installations for many weeks. Now Tumbleweed based raspberrypi and raspberrypi2 images were tested; for the Contrib projects I have faked the filenames U-Boot expects, based on upstream vs. downstream .dtb filenames and testing of rpi-2-b as well as $fdtfilename in u-boot-rpi332b v2016.09.01. As a side effect, the faked .dtb filenames also fix the model B+, which was using the model B's .dtb so far. Known issues: * Overwriting an SD card that had the old partitioning scheme with separate /boot partition leads to a GRUB rescue shell, i.e. unbootable system. Workaround: Either zero out the old GPT or the full SD card (took ~45 min for 32 GB...) before dd'ing the image. https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm/2016-10/msg00082.html Please report if any other boot issues remain with the updated images. Outlook: * With my bcm28*.dtb symlinks in place for the Contribs, we can drop the hardcoded $fdtfile bcm27*.dtb values in uboot-image-setup.in now (b-plus vs. b TODO comment). * We could also drop some non-$is_efi paths in uboot-image-install.in once we're confident we don't need to switch back in any branch. * Once Factory gets the 4.8 kernel (sr#435703), we can build official Tumbleweed images for Raspberry Pi 2 and 3.
