Hallo,
I just had a little struggle getting the current tumbleweed to run on the original Raspberry Pi (first generation, though the revision with larger RAM).
Just in case this helps anybody: I did not have any luck with a fresh openSUSE Tumbleweed image of one of the current arm6 builds. Don’t know why.
Here’s what I did:
– Download a pretty old known-good OpenSUSE 13.1 built by Bernhard Wiedemann
http://www.zq1.de/bernhard/linux/opensuse/raspberrypi-opensuse-latest.img.xz
Unzip, dump it to SD Card
xz -d raspberrypi-opensuse-latest.img.xz
dd if=raspberrypi-opensuse-latest.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=8M
Boot up, change to text console (CTRL + ALT + F2)
Log In (root/linux)
Change Password (passwd)
nano /etc/zypp/repos.d/oss131.repo
Change baseurl line to
baseurl=http:/download.opensuse.org/ports/armv6hl/tumbleweed/repo/oss/
Save and get out (CTRL+X, Y)
#Resize partition and FS as this build won’t do:
# Adjust to more if your card is larger or to less if you need a more advanced partitioning scheme
parted resize 3 16G
resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p3
zypper ref
zypper up gzip rpm
zypper dup –download in-advance
#(super conservative, get all needed packages first) – This is going to take quite a while
reboot, power cycle
Note that you will end up with a system booting into X11 login. You should probably change the default systemd target and maybe also get rid of some software. And you really don’t want a server with ssh password “linux”, so better don’t skip changing the PW
